Abstract
In our historical survey of views on the meaning of human life and death about a dozen positions were identified. We called them paradigms of the human predicament. Of the paradigms discussed in this essay five can be considered as basic or primordial; they emerged at the dawn of history in particular geographical areas. The others emerged as a result of adaptation, mutation or mixing, and their acceptability extended all over the world.
