DANTAS, Jurema Barros. The challenge of being mortal: an essay on the question of death in the news. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2010, vol.10, n.3, pp. 898-910. ISSN 1808-4281.

This article intends to reflect about death nowadays, based on phenomenology and the hermeneutic thoughts. We take from the supposition that death and agony are inseparable living phenomenons. These phenomenons are each time more and more suppressed by the leveling and despotentialization contemporary devices of tragical existing dimension. We have the purpose of discussing not only the ending but too the agony like temptation dispositions of problemizing our owners being possibilities. To think the way by which our relation is shaped with the finitude and which how much this relation characterizes the different ways of being in the present is the preoccupation of this article.

Keywords : Death; Agony; Contemporaryty.
