Shows the insuperable difficulties in elucidating post-mortem survival on a rational basis. This book analyses the three ways that philosophers have attempted to get around these difficulties: the 'reconstitutionist way'; the 'way of the astral body'; and, the 'Platonic-Cartesian way'. It reviews classic arguments and findings of parapsychology.
