Notes
You can imagine what it means to die? How should we understand death? How we will face death and the decisive moment of dying? Though, these are existential questions as old as the history of life. To live significantly, we need a true encounter with our death and the others' dying. Culture is a kind of world life that makes such an encounter possible. This can be derived from narratives of science and religion concerning death and dying. To analyze the narratives of social science, the related literature of death and dying was investigated. Two important works in religious knowledge namely Nahj-albalagheh and Masnavi Ma'navi were studied to explore the narratives of religious knowledge. The results of these analyses were presented in three sections respectively. Complying with the requirements of such studies qualitative content analysis as the most appropriate methodology was used. To avoid from hypothesizing and theorizing–of course common in their suitable position- this study can be considered as phenomenological research.
