Answer:

Marlow talks about death and the afterlife (if any).

Step-by-step explanation:

The moment Marlow talks about is the time just before Kurtz' death. This becomes evident after mentioning "living his life again", which is a common belief about what happens before you die.

"Complete knowledge" refers to finally knowing what there is after death. For a long time people have wondered what lies beyond our lifetime. Kurtz will now have the opportunity to possess that knowledge.
