cover image for 9780312128388
Product Description: This book critically examines the case for and against the belief in personal survival of bodily death. It discusses several key philosophical questions: How could any discarnate individual be plausibly identified as someone who was formerly alive on earth? What precisely is the relationship between our minds and our bodies, particularly our brains? Can we conceive of an afterlife in a 'next world'?The book also examines classic arguments for the immortality of the soul, and focuses on types of recorded fact which furnish prima facie evidence of survival: near-death experiences, apparitions of the dead and dying, mediumistic communications, and ostensible reincarnation cases...read more

Product Description: Annihilation explores the sense and significance of death in general and human death in particular. The first part of the book examines questions about the nature of death. For example, is the death of the brain a necessary and sufficient condition of death? How does the death of a human being relate to the death of a person?
