The aim of the article is to answer the question: what is the philosophical problem of death about? The author claims that the most important issues are not methodological questions (the definition of death or the criterion of death), nor ethical questions (the problem of good dying), nor psychological ones (the problem of the fear of death), nor epistemological ones (the impossibility of knowing the mystery of death) and not even eschatological ones (the problem of the proof of human immortality). The essence of the philosophical problem of death is a metaphysical query expressed by the question about the reason of death: Are there any ontological reasons for death at all?
