PHIL 130 - Death and Immortality

Credits: 3
A philosophical inquiry into questions surrounding death and the possibility of life after death. What is death, and why does it exist? Is it good, bad, or neutral? Is the idea of an afterlife plausible? Are some models of the afterlife, such as resurrection or reincarnation, more plausible than others? Do “near-death experiences” give us evidence for the reality of an afterlife? These and similar questions may be covered.
