Resumen
El interrogante sobre la vida es al mismo tiempo el interrogante sobre la muerte. Como ningún otro interrogante, su aprehensión nocional deja lugar a la conciencia real de la muerte; sin embargo, es siempre la muerte del otro.
La muerte de la persona amada acecha mi propia existencia, decía san Agustín; y en Kierkegaard se transforma en angustia; la muerte proyecta al hombre hacia una situación límite que lo envuelve en un sentimiento trágico de su existencia. Pero el hombre se resiste a pensar que, con la muerte, le llegará su aniquilación definitiva. Y lucha para vencerla en un juego de ajedrez, como nos muestra el film de Bergman
(El séptimo sello, 1957) entre un cruzado medieval y la muerte misma, y nos invita a pensar y reflexionar sobre la existencia de Dios, la muerte y el sentido de la vida.
Para muchos la existencia humana, su sentido y destino se encuentran más allá de la frontera de la muerte: en ese más allá hay un «anhelo de inmortalidad». En todo esto, hay un sentimiento en el hombre de eternidad, sentimiento trágico de la vida, comienzo de todo filosofar (Unamuno, 2008, p. 38).
The question of life is at the same time the question of death. Like no other question, its notional apprehension leaves room for the real consciousness of death, yet it is always the death of the other. The death of the loved one haunts my very existence, said St. Augustine; and in Kierkegaard it is transformed into anguish; death projects man towards a limit situation that envelops him in a tragic feeling of his existence. But man is reluctant to think that with death his definitive annihilation will come. And he fights to defeat it in a game of chess as Bergman’s film (The Seventh Seal, 1957) shows us between a medieval crusader and death itself, and invites us to think and reflect on the existence of God, death and the meaning of life. For many, human existence, its meaning and destiny lie beyond the border of death: in that beyond there is a “longing for immortality”. In all this there is a feeling of eternity inside men, tragic feeling of life, beginning of all philosophizing (Unamuno, 2008, p. 38).
