Description

Near-death experiences have captivated people from various fields, including theology, sociology, and neuroscience. This groundbreaking book explores NDEs, their impact, and the dominant scientific explanations. Ornella Corazza takes a strikingly original cross-cultural approach, incorporating new medical research to combine theories of mind and body with contemporary brain function studies. She examines dualist models of mind and body, discussing the main features of NDEs as reported by those who have experienced them. The book challenges conventional views on NDEs, particularly the 'survivalist hypothesis', which posits that near-death experiences are proof of an afterlife. Instead, Corazza argues for a more integrated view of embodiment to understand human life and its potential.
