This article reconsiders the relationship between Simmel and Heidegger. Scholars commonly argue that Simmer s work on the topic of death and mortality influenced the early Heidegger's work on the same topic, as evidenced in Being and Time. I argue however that Simmel's work particularly in the Lebensanschauung should be read as challenging the basic presuppositions of Heidegger on death. I then compare the two on the issue of immortality in order to show that Simmel is much closer to the subsequent critics of Heidegger than he is to Heidegger himself.
