Summary/Abstract: For more than one hundred years Marxism-Leninism has been the foundation of modern ideologies, not only Soviet-dogmatic, but also anthropocentric revised. However, in the opinion of an excellent sovietologist, Józef Maria Bocheński, a common cosmocentric view allows a possibility of philosophical dialogue between Thomism and Marxism. But for the last 50 years the Christian philosophy has retired also from the cosmocentric point of view. It appears, that a new place of a possible meeting is in the sphere of thanatology, which is an interdisciplinary study that permits to give new answers in „the body of science”, no more ideological threatened, because in the face of death all ideologies fall back.
