The author presents our experience and knowledge about death. The problem of death is not only biological or psychological but first of all existential. We can understand death as the source of our freedom and the value of time (the world without death would be boring). We must accept the necessity of death and hope that we will live after it. Our faith in immortality is a kind of Kantian postulate. Immortality as Kantian postulate has no guaranty and does not satisfy skeptic but it is postulate of moral law fulfillment.

This article is an attempt to reconstruct Pascal’s thinking about a man based on his main work Thoughts. The author underlines the connection between Pascal’s search and his life; therefore, first of all, he sketches his life and his personality. Next, he describes his anthropological beliefs about misery and the grandeur man. The man who ‘is making eternal choice of oneself before God’ is in the centre of Pascal’s inquiry. In science, especially in physics and mathematics, Pascal was a discoverer, but in philosophy he was an inspiring thinker. He did not create the scientific system or the uniform philosophical doctrine as Descartes, but above all, he sought truth about the own existential situation.
