“Life after death is too incoherent theory upon which to base any other philosophical concepts” Discuss.?

Answer 1

What's the point in discussing something that is obviously true?

Answer 2

I think almintaka has been a little bit unfair with claire e. What claire e means to say is “life after death is too incoherent a theory upon which to base any sort of philosophical concepts”; that is, as a theory, life after death, lacks a solid theoretical background upon which to base strong philosophical concepts and, so far, the question might be worth giving some thought. From a scientific point of view is useless to ask about the afterlife just because we cannot move with confidence in a field where there is no data to collect from. Science is rather much more concerned with life instead.

There might be a life after death, and if there is, it cannot be the way many would think it likely to be. The first need you need to be aware of yourself and the things that are around you is a physical body to interact with and get into touch with experience. If there is no body there cannot be neither consciousness nor collection of data. The spirit might exist but it does not transmute from one chest to the other, for it must be permanent and have a position out of time and space. The question is not, therefore, whether there is life after death, but whether the spirit can ever resolve itself into oblivion and death. It is incoherent to suppose our next life goes after and not before. If you understand Einstein you would probably realize what I am trying to say. Death is nothing that should worry you, really.

Answer 3

Theories of an afterlife (there can be more than one theory, after all. Why not?) aren't necessarily incoherent. They could be illogical, or both, or neither.

What is incoherent is your question. In order to have a discussion with other people who speak English, you must first learn to speak the language yourself.

You must also learn to think of more than two things. There is no dividing line between that which is coherent and that which is too incoherent to discuss. Open your mind.

Answer 4

There will be many who could share stories of astral projection experiences=soul and body separation experiences where the soul travels without the body. I have these experiences myself and although nobody can prove life after death we can share our experiences while living.
In my opinion I believe in life after death because of my experiences, it only being the body dying and the soul set free from the body, like in these experiences a separation has taken place to allow me to travel time and see what I do
I have shared how I believe the soul weighs nothing, a requirement also for the soul to have O.B.E (outer body experiences) but because we have weight in the body we gain the 0 as in peace with oneself=no weight on the mind

A free soul can travel far

Answer 5

If you believe that there is a life after death and you believe you might go to heaven once you die, you're not going to live life to the full because you're going to waiting your whole life to go to a paradise that might not even exist. It's a pointless discussion, no-one is ever going to know if there is life after death until they die but then because they're dead they won't be able to tell anyone anyway. There are arguments both ways but all logic points to there not being life after death.

Answer 6

I can't think of anything that dies that does not then continue to be useful in the cycle of things, so death is not the end. I believe, though, that mankind is a unique creation and has a unique future after death. What that future is I don't KNOW, but ,as a Christian, I BELIEVE in a spiritual future. Why not, when everything about existence is just impossible to comprehend?

Answer 7

a very interesting subject, personally i believe that life after death can be proved, and that science and religion are one and the same.
however this depends on which view on life after death you accept, and even having no view on life after death would still create philosophical/moral concepts, e.g - if there is no judgment for actions in afterlife, then you can sin?

Answer 8

If death is the opposite of life, how can we talk about life after death? I believe we like to think so, so as to feel less scared at the thought that some day-just like that- we'll cease to exist.

Answer 9

You can base a philosophical concept on whatever floats your boat.

Answer 10

life after death, is unproveable, but not impossible.
a phylosophical concept is exactly what it says on the tin, a conceptual view of the conceptee,
what we cannot conceive we do not accept, what we cannot prove we do not believe,
