The reviewing text refers clearly about the impossibility of immortality, the death and dying as equalizer facts, no matter the social conditions, the religious or ethnical affiliation, the Nationality or origin country. In this sense edges, go deeper in a distinctive feature mentioned in the Loera Cervantes text, ?The Human Condition in the face of Death?: the cadaverous nature of the human being-the potential cadaver-, inevitable, unquestionable, universal. The introduced work, weave this useful subjects together, throughout the chapters in order to give the beginning of a creative comprehension about this condition which inhabit us.The reading of this text moves us to question how we inhabit and how we are inhabited by a denier condition. In the basis of this dilemma, the author enables the analysis of three essentials: 1- The anxiety when facing with death - consciousness of death (first anthropological constant) 2- The denial of the death (second anthropological constant) and 3- The denial of the death denial (an alternative to the second anthropological constant); projecting new hypothesis and installing relevant edges.
