Abstract
This article is a detailed critical study of Tugendhat´s conception of death and our anxiety concerning death. While Tugendhat´s critique of Nagel´s conception on dying seems to be acceptable, the substitution of Heidegger´s anxiety caused by our finitude by his own concept of decentralization is a source of problems.
It is not clear how to put together two parts of Tugendhat´s experience of decentralization (as illustrated by Bolkonsky´s death experience in War and Peace) - the experience of the world as a whole and the required positive value of this world, which should became accesable from within this experience.
