We will occupy ourselves with Heidegger's understanding about existence, death and anticipation. So we will develop Dasein concept as being in the world, whose essence localizes in its existence. In this way we will also concern with a philosophical-existential interpretation of death's phenomenon. For instance, we explore the idea that death has, existential1y, a privilege. It is a privileged possibility because it can only be experienced beforehand, in advance, and never like something that can, in one moment, be accomplished. So the human being, in his way of being-to-death, frees the horizon of anticipation and possibility as his primordial experiences. At the end of all possibilities, in the death, we find the extreme and insurmountable possibility that, while it is not, permits each relationship in its way of possibility. This anticipation composes the existence. And, joint to this, in the nothing of being of this experience we can discover that essential way of the human being, the power-of-being, like an autogenetic task ofhis own being.

Keywords : Existence; Death; Anticipation; Possibility; Heidegger.
