What Happens When We Die? Part 2: What Philosophy and Science Are Finding

What Happens When We Die? Part 2: What Philosophy and Science Are Finding30 jul24 min

In Part 1, we heard what the world's great spiritual traditions believe happens when we die. In this episode, we hand the same question to two very different kinds of thinkers, the philosophers who refused to accept anything on faith alone, and the neuroscientists applying the most rigorous tools available to the most human question there is.

We begin with the ancient Greeks - Plato, Epicurus, the Stoics, and what each of them concluded when they stripped away certainty and started from first principles. The answers are not what you might expect.

Then we go into the laboratories. Because what is happening in neuroscience right now is producing findings that are genuinely difficult to explain - and even harder to ignore. Researchers monitoring dying patients, survivors of cardiac arrest, and people with advanced dementia are all pointing toward the same set of questions. Questions that the scientific community does not yet have answers for.

Where philosophy, reason, and cutting-edge research are all pointing - I will let you discover that for yourself.

This episode reflects my own personal journey through one of life's greatest questions - shared in the spirit of open and respectful exploration."

If you have not yet listened to Part 1, it is available now and a wonderful place to begin.
