Abstract
Existentialism is the philosophy of attitudes, a step away from traditional philosophy. The stance of existentialism of "dying" is one of those attitudes. Dying is a process by which the subject loses subjectivity, leading to a loss of personality due to the disparity between material life and the spiritual life that people do not recognize. The standpoint of existentialism on dying, besides unconvincing arguments, still exudes humanistic thoughts about human. That meaning does not disappear when people face the industrial revolution 4.0.
