This paper investigates the notion of death from the philosophical perspectives of Martin Heidegger, in Being and Time, and Jean-Paul Sartre, in Being and Nothingness. We aim to understand how both authors structure this issue by analyzing their relationship with the concepts of anguish, authenticity, and freedom. Heidegger argues that the awareness of death allows human beings to live authentically, embracing their finitude and shaping their existence based on individual choices. In contrast, Sartre rejects the idea that death can confer any meaning to life, emphasizing that, upon dying, the being loses its freedom and becomes an object of the other's discourse. Throughout the paper, we discuss the main points of convergence and divergence between these approaches, highlighting their implications for existentialist philosophy and for understanding the meaning of life and death.
