Familiarity with key positions of the contemporary debate in philosophy of religion on personal identity, death and resurrection.

In this course we discuss three major topics:

- Is survival after death possible at all?

- What metaphysical models of survival after death/resurrection are discussed in contemporary analytic philosophy of religion, and how do these relate to Christian eschatology?

- Should we be interested in survival after death?

More Details can be found on OLAT.
