Abstract

Philosophy of religion is not focused on a particular religion, but rather
on explaining the main points of religious teachings in general and
includes all components of thought and teachings related to the
interests of human essential life. Death is a part of human life that
cannot be explained empirically. Thus, death becomes an eternal
problem for humans. In this study, the death of the philosophy of
religion perspective is a form of awareness of the reality of
metaphysical-existential life. Thus, the synergy between heart in
religion and reason in philosophy becomes one as an objective approach
to death. The process of death during a pandemic is an acknowledgment
of human existence in this limited world. The purpose of this paper is
the importance of understanding philosophy and religion in the
philosophy of religion in human life. Especially the meaning of death
during a pandemic and after the Covid-19 pandemic. This research is
library research with a qualitative method that involves the point of
view of religious philosophy in seeing the meaning of post-pandemic
death in a rational-philosophical manner. Thus, death is no longer a
matter that is always debated, but death does not need to be worried
and worried but must be faced by preparing it through the provision of
religious understanding and a good attitude of religiosity. Therefore,
this research is considered important to provide a critical view of the
meaning of death from the point of view of religious philosophy.
