Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Building upon the 'preliminary conception of Phenomenology' introduced by Heidegger in section II of the Introduction to Sein und zeit,l one may say that a phenomenology of death would mean: 'to let death, as that which shows itself, be seen from itself in the very way in which it shows itself from itself. ' Does this mean then, that a properly phenomenological d- cription of death may reveal to us what death as a factical event is like 'in the very way in which it shows itself from itself' Although I cannot experience my death in order to describe it, may some kind of phenomenologica'l inference or 'extrapolation'2 be the condition for a unique and privileged revelation of what it is like to be dead There is an important element of phenomenological descr- tion which renders such an extrapolation implausible, and it involves what Husserl originally called the reduction to signi- cance or meaning. It can never be true for the phenomenologist, 1 Heidegger, Martin, Sein und zeit, p. 34. e. t. page 58. 2 Henry W.
