Abstract
All of us are mortal. Therefore, we are responsible for investigating “my own death” from the first-person perspective. Fifteen years ago, I started an academic meeting entitled “Conference for thanatology as humanities”, to develop studies about the first-person death, based on the humanities. Recently I have written a book with several collaborators entitled Enigma of My Own Death: Thanatology as Humanities (Tokyo: Shunjusha, 2017), the content of which I will briefly introduce in this lecture as my first aim. The second aim here is to present a method of exercise for finding not "human death in general&quto; but "my own death" as an enigma.
