A Philosophical Critique of Empirical Arguments for Postmortem Survival cover

Sudduth provides a critical exploration of classical empirical arguments for survival arguments that purport to show that data collected from ostensibly paranormal phenomena constitute good evidence for the survival of the self after death. Utilizing the conceptual tools of formal epistemology, he argues that classical arguments are unsuccessful.

'Michael Sudduth has produced a ground-breaking work - original, nuanced, empirically comprehensive, and conceptually sophisticated. It sheds new light on the confusions and superficiality dominating the literature on postmortem survival, and is a major contribution to survival research.' -Stephen Braude, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy, University of Maryland, USA
