Abstract
This study takes the theme of death in philosophy and art as its explidt focus, cancentrating mainly of contemporary French philosopher Maurice Blanchot's literary and philosophical texts. The 'aporias' in the discourses of death are examined through an aporetic experience of the concepts, possible- impossible, absence-presence, finite, infinite involving in a discussion canceming the concepts of tirnit and representation.
