Abstract

It is well known from the history of humanity that religion, tradition, culture, science have not spared the topic of death and immortality. Because death is an existential phenomenon, inseparable from humanity. Man is an intelligent being who can realize that eventually, he dies and falls into the trap of death.

As a person ages, he involuntarily begins to think about the inevitability of death. A person begins to appreciate everything in life. Therefore, a person tries to fill his inner world with spiritual values and leave life with honor and dignity. Plato (427-347 BC), who considered philosophical reflections as the first preparation for death, believed that having no concept of death it is difficult to engage in philosophy and understand its essence. Therefore, the study of this exciting phenomenon, relevant at every stage of history, from the point of view of the philosophy of religion, is one of the important actions today.
