In the mid-20th century, Elisabeth Kűbler-Ross described five stages (denial, anger, negotiation, depression, and acceptance) through which the dying passes. Her work was highly appreciated, she opened a new stage in exploring the process of dying, and her findings from interviews with the dying are still part of the curriculum at health schools. In the scientific community, however, these conclusions are questioned, especially because of the absence of scientific work methodologists. Many authors point out that the uncritical acceptance of Kubeler-Ross theory can be detrimental to patients and carers, as they are not obligated to respect individual differences in the process of dying individuals. The author gives an overview of various critical views of the dying theory of Kubler-Ross, but does not deny that her theory opens the door (breaking the long-standing taboo) for a new stage in exploring the process of dying and death.

The aim of the article is to present conceptual difficulties faced by a philosopher who studies death. It can be accepted only from a natural and logical point of view, while my own 'personal' death always remains inconceivable. Similarly, the image of life after death is an inscrutable intellectual puzzle. Moreover - contrary to the expectations expressed by some philosophers - there are hardly any chances to explore the essence of death during the process of dying. That stage of human life is not open to cognitive analysis.

The analysis draws on Nagel´s deprivation theory and Feldman´s theory of possible worlds. These are supplemented with a specific context of feeling happy or suffering in the face of death as well as various forms of believing in life after death. Six logically possible answers have been tested via thought experiments which showed that the question of whether death means good, evil or is indifferent to a man cannot be in general answered from the first person perspective. The answer always depends on the particular context, i. e. on the man’s beliefs and hopes. Thus the article offers one possible axiological perspective from which death can be viewed in the context of dying with dignity, committing suicide or carrying out euthanasia.

A starting point for the following considerations is an attempt at describing ethics attitude in the matter of limits of helping people who are in terminal state. The author assumes that increasing demand for providing such help in specialized institutions - hospices - is a sign of domination of ethics of sanctity of life in societies, in which humans, independently of their state of health have the right to medical benefits. In conclusion of the article the author states that traditional formulas of social justice, regardless of high popularity of some ideas of ethics of quality of life, still remain in force and one cannot expect that such a situation will change in the predictable future.

Suf ering and death, being inherent elements of an individual’s life, are a challenge for everyone and for the whole mankind. This reality requires appropriate approach, which is to accept these facts and experience suf ering and death wisely. It means appropriate recognition of the sense and advisability of this reality. This imperative is even more relevant today, when the fear of suf ering and death becomes an obsession for the people of the technical civilisation. The recognition of the sense of suf ering and the advisability of life allows an individual experience each stage of his life actively and responsibly. The author weighs the problem taking into account the following dimensions: 1) suf ering and death and the components of the existence, 2) experiencing suf ering as the way of discovering eternity, 3) dying and death ass passing into eternity.
