Editorial Reviews Product Description Despite the eternal hope of life beyond the grave, flew shows that insurmountable difficulties in explaining the survival of post-mortem on a rational basis. It analyzes the manner in which three philosophers of the past tried to circumvent these difficulties are: the "way reconstitutionist" (the assembly of our wonderful body of the deceased in the future, such as the Last Judgement), the "way the astral body "(a kind of double life can not be verified" body ", resulting from the material body after death) is separated, and the" Platonic-Cartesian way "(a disembodied spirit or soul contains the identity of a person for life death). The main problem, says Flew, is logically impossible to demonstrate how a person survives the death could imagine any alterations to be one and the same person who had already lived a life to identify in flesh and blood on the ground. Flew critical of both the classical arguments of Plato, Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas and Descartes, and the results of modern parapsychology, the elucidation of this complex issue with the logical rigor and engaging spirit.
