This essay wants to analyse the meaning of the concept of natural death. The starting point will be the distinction made by Jean Améry between the logic-formal language of philosophical thought and the everyday language of common thought. These two languages end up with being mutually incompatible, and this shows how problematic it is to determine a univocal meaning for natural death, and how complex it is nowadays to accept the bond between death and nature. After describing the features of the two languages, this essay will try to find a possible meeting point by highlighting an incontrovertible fact: it is natural that each of us one day must die.

Abstract

This essay wants to analyse the meaning of the concept of natural death. The starting point will be the distinction made by Jean Améry between the logic-formal language of philosophical thought and the everyday language of common thought. These two languages end up with being mutually incompatible, and this shows how problematic it is to determine a univocal meaning for natural death, and how complex it is nowadays to accept the bond between death and nature. After describing the features of the two languages, this essay will try to find a possible meeting point by highlighting an incontrovertible fact: it is natural that each of us one day must die.
