Arthur Hyman - Is There Life After Death? (Part 2)

Do we survive bodily death? Can our personal awareness transcend physical decay and dissolution? There are no bigger questions and there is no shortage of answers. Religions offer hope, with extravagant promises that are founded on the existence of God. For life after death, would God be required? If so, how would God do it?

Delightful interview. I’m struck how beliefs about life after death have varied, from the writing of the Book of Kings, to the time of the Sadducees/Pharisees to Maimonides to the present, and how the beliefs of many theists now, are directly traceable to those archaic beliefs. I would have liked to hear what Rabbi Hyman himself believed, as a Rabbi, and a scholar of these various historical beliefs.

If we could only be honest and say we love one another...

Excellent discussion. Thanks

I think the interviewee mixed up Aristotle’s idea of the soul with Plato’s. Was it not Plato who believed the soul to be a disembodied spirit after death?

Yes

Eschatology gives some people a vision.

There is no life after death. New life allows humans to evolve into a better form with each generation.

Really! No life after death? What was your state before you were born? Tell me the difference between the pre-born state and the after life state. All living things were essentially dead before they were alive. So, to say there is no life after death is incorrect.
