Philosophers on death.

Death has always been a mystery and an exciting topic for philosophers. Here are the excerpts of some of the philosophers and their take on death.

Plato
[Death], “Is this something that the separation of soul from the body? It died when the body is separate from the soul remains alone, apart, with himself, and when the soul, separated from the body, left alone, apart, with itself “…

Marcus Aurelius.
He who has seen present things has seen all, both everything which has taken place from all eternity and everything which will be for time without end; for all things are of one kin and of one form.

Socrates
Death may be the greatest of all
human blessings. To fear death, my friends, is only to think ourselves wise, without being wise: for it is to think that we know what we do not know. For anything that men can tell, death may be the greatest good that can happen to them: but they fear it as if they knew quite well that it was the greatest of evils. And what is this but that shameful ignorance of thinking that we know what we do not know?

Hegel
“Death, if we want to name and this unreality, is the most dangerous thing. This is not the life that recoils in horror at the death and preserves pure destruction, but life is death, and remains even in death, which is the life of the mind. ”

Arthur Schopenhaur
“Death is the moment of liberation from a narrow and uniform individuality, which, far from the inner substance of our being, is rather as a kind of aberration. ”After your death you will be what you
were before your birth.

Heidegger
“This means that one end by the
death does not mean, for human
reality, being-in-my-purpose be-
finished, it means the end for a being who is the being that exists. Death is a way of being human reality that assumes, as it is: When a human comes to life, it is already old enough to die. ”

Sartre
The darkness of death is like the
evening twilight; it makes all objects appear more lovely to the dying. [Death] “Not only the project that destroyed all projects and that destroyed itself. It is the triumph of the perspective of others on the point of view I am myself. ”

To conclude, here we've presented random views on the next topic I'll like to merge and give an overview of overall makeup on the topic. And I'll also like to discuss some moot points on death and after death.
