This article analyzes Heideggerian ontology, focusing on the investigation of finitude as a fundamental structure of human existence. The central problem lies in understanding how death, viewed as an ontological possibility rather than merely a biological event, can awaken the Dasein from the inauthentic dispersion of everyday life. The analysis is based on the Heideggerian categories of being-towards-death, as a rupture with impersonality, and temporality, understood through its ecstasies: the past as facticity, the present as resolute presence, and the future as project. It concludes that finitude is not a negative limitation, but the horizon that enables freedom and authenticity. By recognizing the imminence of the end, the individual is called to take responsibility for their choices and for the meaning of their being, transcending contemporary technical and social alienation toward an autonomous and full existence.
