Death And Anti-Death, Volume 6: Thirty Years After Kurt Gdel
(1906-1978)[Charles Tandy, Ph.D., Editor] [ISBN 978-1-934297-03-2]
------Volume 6, as indicated by the anthology's subtitle, is in
honor of Kurt Gdel (1906-1978). The chapters do not necessarily
mention him. The chapters (by professional philosophers and other
professional scholars) are directed to issues related to death,
life extension, and anti-death, broadly construed. Most of the
contributions consist of scholarship unique to this volume. As was
the case with all previous volumes in the Death And Anti-Death
Series By Ria University Press, the anthology includes an Index as
well as an Abstracts section that serves as an extended table of
contents. (Volume 6 also includes a BRIEF COMMUNICATIONS section.)
The ten chapters are entitled as follows: ------> 1. Life And
Death Economics: A Dialogue by Giorgio Baruchello and Valerio
Lintner (pages 33-52) ------> 2. Charles Hartshorne by Daniel A.
Dombrowski (pages 53-78) ------> 3. Choosing Death in Cases of
Anorexia Nervosa - Should We Ever Let People Die From Anorexia?

Of Enhancement by Bill Grote and William Grey (pages 101-126)
------> 5. Cosmology And Theology by John Leslie (pages 127-156)
------> 6. Positive Logicality: The Development Of Normative
Reason by J. R. Lucas (pages 157-222) ------> 7. The Basic Ideas
Of Conformal Cyclic Cosmology by Roger Penrose (pages 223-242)
------> 8. Deconstructing Deathism: Personal Immortality As A
Desirable Outcome by R. Michael Perry (pages 243-264) ------> 9.
