| Sumario: | Considering the impact of death on multiple aspects of human collectivity, this article reflects on how different cultures, at different times, related to this theme, seeking to interpret the various meanings associated with finitude. Therefore, the study starts with a literature review of a qualitative approach. It found that civilizations that have succeeded each other over the centuries have in common a number of barriers to understanding and accepting death. And, despite new sociocultural paradigms, freedom of expression and all the technological evolution that characterize contemporary society, the demystification of death still requires commitment. In its conclusion, the text emphasizes the need to broaden discussions and strategies to address issues related to human finitude, considering that new conceptual re-significations always emerge with the progress of science. |
