Verstorbene
Definition:le défunt [ETEM]
the deceased: der Verstorbene H. 238 f [BTMR]
Because the “existential concept of death” pertains precisely to what belongs to us each individually (in the first person, as it were), it is not to be confused with the deceased (Verstorbene), the perishing (Verenden) of something alive, the demise (Ableben) of others, or the absence of what is “not yet.” In regard to the deceased, our loss is not theirs nor can it be, since death in the existential sense is not shared. We are in stricto senso never on-hand but always “here,” whereas the corpses that we come to be in perishing are precisely not “here” (SZ 241). In other words, dying is not perishing because perishing entails the accessibility of what perishes as something on-hand, ante mortem and post mortem (SZ 248). Biological– physiological, medical, psychological, biographical–historical, ethnological, and theological studies of death investigate Dasein’s demise, an “intermediate phenomenon,” co-determined by conceptions of perishing and the existential conception of dying. Death is also not anything like the absence of what is not yet the case—an unpaid bill, a full moon, a ripened fruit—since these are endings of something on-hand or handy. “In death Dasein neither is completed [53] nor has it simply disappeared, nor has it become finished at all or fully accessible as something handy” (SZ 245).
