This unique Handbook provides a sophisticated, scholarly overview
of the most advanced thought regarding the idea of life after
death. Its comprehensive coverage encompasses historical,
religious, philosophical and scientific thinking. Starting with an
overview of ancient thought on the topic, The Palgrave Handbook of
the Afterlife examines in detail the philosophical coherence of the
main traditional notions of the nature of the afterlife including
heaven, hell, purgatory and rebirth. In addition (and breaking with
traditional conceptions) it also explores the most recent exciting
advance - digital models. Later sections include analysis of
various possible metaphysical accounts that might make sense of the
afterlife (including substance dualism, emergent dualism and
materialism) and the science of near death experiences as well as
the links between human psychology and our attitude to the
afterlife. Key features: * Grounded in the most advanced
philosophical, theological and scientific thinking * Contributions
by eminent scholars from the world's top universities * Balanced
treatment of fundamental issues that are relevant to everyone *
Diverse approaches ranging from the religious to the scientific,
from the optimistic to the pessimistic * A major section on the
meaning of the afterlife which includes chapters on fear, purpose,
evil, and issues regarding identity The Palgrave Handbook of the
Afterlife is essential reading for scholars, researchers and
advanced students researching attitudes to and effects of beliefs
about death and life after death from philosophical, historical,
religious, psychological and scientific perspectives.
