| Summary: | If any readers hope to find in this book material for a sermon on the resurrection of the body, they will be disappointed. It arose from a conference of philosophers held in Austria in 2008, and is aimed at a readership of fellow philosophers. (Biblical material is alluded to from time to time, but is not the contributors’ real concern.) Consequently, it assumes familiarity both with a range of philosophical schools and with the existing literature on the subject, which is extensive., The conference arose because many philosophers, including some who count themselves Christians, reject mind–body dualism and find it hard to believe in survival after death in a disembodied form. |
