Death is a universal biological endpoint and central philosophical concept that defines the limits of organic life and human experience.

As a natural process, death terminates metabolic and cognitive functions across species and has shaped evolutionary, cultural, and ethical frameworks throughout history. Its inevitability prompts consistent inquiry into meaning, mortality, and continuity without inherent moral valence. Analytical treatment reveals it as both a measurable phenomenon and an abstract boundary condition for existence.
