EN

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.
