Resurrection of the Body? Physicalism and the Possibility of Life After Death

from Philosophy Overdose · host Philosophy Overdose

Can a Christian be a physicalist? And is there a coherent story to tell about how a physical entity can survive bodily death? In this talk, Rebekah Rice evaluates proposals by Christian philosophers who have answered "yes" to both questions and have gone on to propose theories about the possibility of resurrection given physicalism. Rebekah Rice, Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Seattle Pacific University, gave this lecture back in 2012. 00:00 Lecture 49:45 Q&A #philosophy #metaphysics #philosophyofmind #philosophyofreligion #personalidentity #materialism Learn more about your ad choices.
