title: [The meaning of "proper" death].
abstract: Man has been reduced by technical civilization to an assembly of cards, numbers and curves. "Dehumanization of death" leads us to "redefine the meaning of proper death". Human death is not primarily a biological fact, because man is not merely body, mere organism (Körper). The human body is only revealed when understood as living body (corps vécu) or body proper (Leib). If my body is limited to the physiological body, in death the self is defeated as a thing that is ended. . . "man is an useless passion". . . But, does death extinguish the sense of human life?
