10 Good Questions about Life and Death

An informal and clearly written book addressing some central questions: Is Life Sacred? Is it Bad to Die? Might I Live On? Should I Take the Elixir of Life? Is It All Meaningless? Does Reality Matter? Central questions indeed and the authoer guides the reader through his discussion in an engaging manner. The only trouble is that, like many philosophers, he is woefully uninformed when it comes to evidence for reincarnation and survival. He discusses the issues in a theoretical manner and his bibliography is rather thin. This allows him to conclude that 'there is just no good reason, no strong evidence, to think that any of us will live on'. In these matters C.D. Broad is a much better guide than David Hume, but most professional philosophers are disciples of Hume.
