Abstract
The article is devoted to analysis of Russian philosophical language of death. It is argued that philosophical language should be appropriate to its subject. For philosophical thinking about death requires philosophical language of death. In Russian philosophy the language of death is a moral language, because the phenomenon of death is a phenomenon of morality. Language death is opposed to the language of immortality. Language death is a philosophical language, the language of immortality is the language of religion. Philosophical language asks but does not answer. The language of religion should answer. The article considers the variants of philosophical language adequate to its subject (death): the philosophical language of B.P. Vysheslavtsev, N.F. Fedorov, L.P. Karsavin and Archimandrite Theophan (Avsenev). The conclusion of the article: the language of death is different from the language of immortality in content and form.
