Abstract:This article attempts to explore some relationships between awareness of finitude and our every-day lives. To this end, both existential philosophy and phenomenological-psychological research are employed. Existential philosophy, especially as in the writings of Martin Heidegger, is used to delineate this field of interest as a vital context for self-understanding. A phenomenological-psychological research methodology is employed to describe the experience of focusing on personal finitude by a group of young people by means of experiential procedures and reflections. © 1986, South African Psychological Association and the Psychological Institute of the Republic of South Africa.
