Where are the dead? What are they doing? What kind of a process is
dying? What relationships exist among the dead themselves, and
between the dead and those in the world they have left behind?
Modern philosophers argue that the idea of disembodied survival -
to which many believers pay lip service - is incoherent, and that
there can be evidence neither for nor against something incoherent.
By contrast, this book argues, the idea of an embodied survival
(albeit a form of embodiment differing from our present embodiment)
makes perfect sense in itself and fits much better with the alleged
evidence for post-mortem survival. Exploring post-mortem survival,
Where are the Dead? uses a variety of empirical data, alongside
mythological, legendary and purely fictional material, to
illustrate how the less familiar idea of embodied post-mortem
survival might actually 'work' in some real afterlife environment.
By asking questions about the nature and whereabouts of the
afterlife, and about what it might be like to be dead, the book
explores themes nowadays relatively neglected even in disciplines
explicitly concerned with ideas about death, dying and life after
death.
