Almeder, Robert : Georgia State University

Robert Almeder, Professor of Philosophy at Georgia State University, is the author of 15 books including "Business Ethics: Corporate Values and Society" and "Beyond Death: The Evidence for Life After Death".

In a style that is both philosophically sophisticated and accessible to general readers, Robert Almeder introduces readers to the vigorous debate in the scientific community about the possibility of personal survival after death. He argues that belief in some form of personal survival is as empirically justifiable as our belief in the past existence of dinosaurs. Drawing on 21 of the best case studies in reincarnation, apparitions of the dead, ostensible possession, out-of-body experiences, and trance mediumships, "Death and Personal Survival" offers a comprehensive discussion of the best empirical evidence in each of these areas and refutes alternative explanations offered by sceptics.
