Summary/Abstract: The article presents the issue of thanatopedagogy as a relatively new area of pedagogical research. The main emphasis of the discussion is placed on its philosophical character and the possibilities of supporting contemporary man in overcoming the existential fear of death. Its presence in pedagogy seems to be increasingly necessary because of its lifelong character, the need to confront the fear of death hidden by pop culture, and, above all, the possibility of a spiritual transformation that can take place in the process of education.
