AB - In order to understand the metaphysical death, the question, how humans have determined the relationship between soul and body, is crucial. A newly enhanced dualism came out as the result of the development of late scholastic philosophy. It is revealed especially in Descartes thought. In addition, the thoughts of Spinoza, Kant and Fichte can not be forgotten.
For Descartes, death is simply the end of machine, that we call the body. For Spinoza, death is ultimately nothing but a going up to the unique totality. An individual goes to ruin in death, but so long as he is a thinking human being, an idea of infinite thinking, a man shall survive. Kant showed in his Critique of Pure Reason the theory of soul and the immortality of the soul. According to Fichte the nature life is not the original and true life, but it is the life of just one simple idea. If we are obsessed with a fictional life, we die continuously, but in death we come into the real life.
