GAVIRIA MUNERA, Mónica Marcela. The Experience of the Finitude and the Meaning of Life. Aleth. rev. desarro. hum. educ. soc. contemp. [online]. 2020, vol.12, n.1, pp.197-210.  Epub Nov 25, 2020. ISSN 2145-0366.

This article arises from reflections generated and revised readings for the research titled "Reconfiguration of the meaning of life after being diagnose with a disease that threatens life". This paper attempts to deepen the contents that may be implied by the expression "in one second". Expression that is usually used by subjects that narrate an experience that split their lives in two. The concepts that will be developed in this article are experience, time, finitude, and the meaning of life; and the theorists gui-ding these concepts are Larrosa, Heidegger, Frankl, Sartre and Melich. It is important to note that the general aim of the article is to invite reflection at the inquietude of the being who is just being; a finite being that has the possibility to decide against the meaning given to the experience and finely decides how to live.

Keywords : experience; time; finitude; meaning of life.
