Download or read book The Myth of an Afterlife written by Michael Martin and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-03-12 with total page 709 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because every single one of us will die, most of us would like to know what—if anything—awaits us afterward, not to mention the fate of lost loved ones. Given the nearly universal vested interest in deciding this question in favor of an afterlife, it is no surprise that the vast majority of books on the topic affirm the reality of life after death without a backward glance. But the evidence of our senses and the ever-gaining strength of scientific evidence strongly suggest otherwise. In The Myth of an Afterlife: The Case against Life after Death, Michael Martin and Keith Augustine collect a series of contributions that redress this imbalance in the literature by providing a strong, comprehensive, and up-to-date casebook of the chief arguments against an afterlife. Divided into four separate sections, this collection opens with a broad overview of the issues, as contributors consider the strongest evidence of whether or not we survive death—in particular the biological basis of all mental states and their grounding in brain activity that ceases to function at death. Next, contributors consider a host of conceptual and empirical difficulties that confront the various ways of “surviving” death—from bodiless minds to bodily resurrection to any form of posthumous survival. Then essayists turn to internal inconsistencies between traditional theological conceptions of an afterlife—heaven, hell, karmic rebirth—and widely held ethical principles central to the belief systems supporting those notions. In the final section, authors offer critical evaluations of the main types of evidence for an afterlife. Fully interdisciplinary, The Myth of an Afterlife: The Case against Life after Death brings together a variety of fields of research to make that case, including cognitiveneuroscience, philosophy of mind, personal identity, philosophy of religion, moralphilosophy, psychical research, and anomalistic psychology. As the definitive casebookof arguments against life after death, this collection is required reading for anyinstructor, researcher, and student of philosophy, religious studies, or theology. It issure to raise provocative issues new to readers, regardless of background, from thosewho believe fervently in the reality of an afterlife to those who do not or are undecidedon the matter.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Other Side of Death: A Critical Examination of the Belief in a Future Life, With a Study of Spiritualism If on a given subject knowledge was absolute men would move on a level of complete equality. And the same equality would prevail where ignorance was complete. From that point of view the present writer may claim to know as much as any man living on "the other side of death" - that is, if we accept the phrase literally. But while a demonstration of general ignorance would not be without its uses, it is not the main theme of this work. The Other Side of Death has reference to that aspect, or to those aspects, of death which popular theology leave entirely out of account. There it is commonly assumed that either we must accept the established religious interpretations of death, and of all the feelings that cluster round it, or we are doomed to disheartening pessimism. I hope sincerely that readers of these pages will realize that neither view is justifiable. Death has its place in the evolutionary process, and when that is understood theology loses its force and its terrors. If the author has succeeded in placing before his readers a rational and a satisfactory account of the feelings that are inseparable from the fact of death he will have accomplished the purpose with which he set out.

Download or read book Heidegger on Death written by Professor George Pattison and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-05-28 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the question of death in the light of Heidegger's paradigmatic discussion in Being and Time. Although Heidegger's own treatment deliberately refrains from engaging theological perspectives, George Pattison suggests that these not only serve to bring out problematic elements in his own approach but also point to the larger human or anthropological issues in play. Pattison reveals where and how Heidegger and theology part ways but also how Heidegger can helpfully challenge theology to rethink one of its own fundamental questions: human beings' relation to their death and the meaning of death in their religious lives.
Download or read book Is There Life After Death written by Robert Kastenbaum and published by Fireside Books. This book was released on 1984 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author conducts a sustained debate with himself on the evidence for and against survival. The reader plays jury as the author adopts, alternately, the stance of ardent critic and ardent advocate. A range of experiments, happenings, research and a variety of beliefs are unfolded for examination in scientific, psychological, philosophical, social and even political terms. Central to the debate is the question: What is admissible evidence for survival? Near-death experiences, out-of-body experiences, poltergeist phenomena, phantom sightings -- all are possible candidates, but the author carefully selects those cases that are most fully documented and have occurred within reach of cameras, recording machines and critical bystanders. In the last chapter he transcends the adversary approach to suggest that the more we understand the universe and ourselves, the more obvious it becomes that what we call " death" is not the end of life.
Download or read book Life After Death written by Dinesh D'Souza and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2009-11-02 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike many books about the afterlife, Life after Death makes no appeal to religious faith, divine revelation, or sacred texts. Drawing on some of the most powerful theories and trends in physics, evolutionary biology, science, philosophy, and psychology, D'Souza shows why the atheist critique of immortality is irrational. It is not only reasonable to believe in life after death; it is also beneficial. Such a belief gives depth and significance to this life, a path to happiness, and reason for hope.
