 ABSTRACT

Death is a relevant subject not only in the respective fields of philosophy or science, but in everyday life. Chantal Maillard, nourished by Eastern thought, shows us her vision of death understood as the dis-appearance of self. To do this, I will make a brief tour of some of his works –mainly Against art and other impostures, Poems to my death and India– where I will explain how the author understands the notion. I will try to reflect the most artistic part of his thinking about death in India, understood as chaotic of the creation of the universe. On the other hand, I will rely on another perspective to try to bring to the idea of death a line of thought less influenced by Eastern Hindu philosophy. Finally, I will make a comparison on how the idea of death in the East and West is understood.
