It was written by philosophers, so the discussion uses philosophical jargon. I had hoped for more examples of NDEs, but the same few are rehashed. There were times I wanted to say, "BUT . . . what about . . . " as I read due to the frustrating arguments offered. I suppose the analysis is fair and scientific, thus the three stars. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is primarily a philosophical analysis, not a scientific one *by P***C on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 16, 2022* I’ll try to keep this brief. Many of the reviews of this book seem to assume the book should be a scientific or empirical study of NDEs. However, the book itself doesn’t pretend to do that. Rather the book is written by two analytic philosophers (including a very famous and prominent philosopher in the field of free will) who attempt to philosophically analyze the nature and entailments of NDEs initially through two famous NDE cases (e.g. Pam Reynolds) as well as make their own philosophical evaluations and reflections. Plenty of other books look at the scientific issues involved in NDEs; this one majors in the philosophical. So if you’re looking for the former, you’ll likely be disappointed with this book. There are few books that are philosophically focused and rigorously reasoned on NDEs. This is one such book. Cf. Stephen Braude (e.g. Immortal Remains). In any case, caveat emptor! Know what you’re getting into before purchasing. By the way, I don't ultimately agree with these philosophers and their evaluations of NDEs. I think there exist some or many NDEs which can't be entirely explicated primarily through naturalistic paradigms and which arguably point beyond naturalistic frameworks. ### ⭐ Does a disservice to NDE researchers and their important work. *by A***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 17, 2020* Recommending The Non Local Universe, by Nadeau and Kafatos, also published by Oxford University Press. My personal suggestion here is that people skip this book. The authors do not seem to have done their homework in researching the research on NDEs. Nor do they have the competence to condemn and/or judge the medical doctors and scientists who are engaged in serious studies of NDEs. Their attacks on Eben Alexander come across as petty, and ought to embarrass them. The authors trivialize and distort what ND Experiencers report and what these people infer from what happened to them. ---Their own endless speculation on what they think might have happened is undisciplined and irresponsible, and rooted more in their dogmatism than anything else. --- Go to the books by Alexander, Von Lommel, Jeffrey Long, Sam Parnia, and numerous others for serious scientific investigation of the topic. --- ND experiencers & NDE researchers are NOT asking that people adopt their religion or join them in worship of their god. What they ARE asking for is serious empirical scientific study of NDEs, rather than dogmatic dismissal of the growing body of reports of these experiences around the world. This is what science does: observe puzzling or new phenomena, , and study this phenomena in terms of consistent patterns, in an attempt to describe HOW the baffling aspects of the phenomena appear to work. And a fundamental fact regarding NDEs is that there are abundant consistent patterns to what experiencers describe that demand this serious scientific enquiry. Also there is a growing consensus that science, at the present time, cannot explain or explain away the NDE. -- This book contributes nothing of value to the ongoing discussion and study of the NDE. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/60043653-near-death-experiences-understanding-our-visions-of-the-afterlife-hardcover](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/60043653-near-death-experiences-understanding-our-visions-of-the-afterlife-hardcover) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
