Leslie, John Immortality Defended (140516204X)
Might we be parts of a divine mind? Could anything like an afterlife make sense? Starting with a Platonic answer to why the world exists, Immortality Defended suggests we could well be immortal in all of three separate ways. * Tackles the fundamental questions posed by our very existence, among them, 'why does the cosmos exist?', 'is there a divine mind or God?', and 'in what sense might we have afterlives?' * Defends a belief in immortality, without the need for a religious affiliation or rejection of modern science * Explores the ideas of 'Einsteinian immortality', the divine afterlife, and the theory of an infinite and divine mind * Draws from the work of a wide-range of philosophers, from ancient Greece to the present day, and incorporates up-to-date scientific findings * Written in a thought-provoking and engaging manner, accessible to anyone intrigued by the wonder of our being
