For many people, death is associated with mystery, and it is this unfathomability that makes humans afraid of it. Owing to their fascination with death, some Eastern and Western philosophers have made thorough reflections to discern the meaning of mortality. Indian philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti and French philosopher Jacques Derrida are salient illustrations. By examining and interpreting Krishnamurti’s On Living and Dying (1992) and Derrida’s The Gift of Death (1996), along with other relevant materials on death, this paper investigates the issue of death in the writings of Krishnamurti and Derrida, exploring the meaning of mortality in the contemporary world
