Abstract: Unlike Epicurus, who he is attempting to ease the fear and pain of death, Heidegger makes death a fundamental element of the Being. Dasein, as Being-Towards-Death faces the certainty of death and escapes from the evreyday routine to make life meaningful.

Keywords: Heidegger, dasein, life, death
