Animal Afterlife?

Do animals really continue conscious life after their earthly death? Is it possible that our beloved non-human companions will join us for eternity? What about wild animals? Do they actually have an immortal soul? These questions can certainly perplex anyone who has ever enjoyed and loved a pet . . . or a hummingbird . . . and a variety of answers can undoubtedly spark the curiosity of an inquiring mind.

In My Ever After


Book Description

This book argues against neurophilosophy's virtual equation of consciousness and the world. Part I identifies scientific grounds for a real world outside consciousness and self-refutational flaws in quantum physics; Part II explores why consciousness cannot be electrical in origin, and how partibility and subjectivity evince reasons for accepting immortal consciousness.




Sins of the Flesh


Book Description

Unlike previous books on the history of vegetarianism, Sins of the Flesh examines the history of vegetarianism in its ethical dimensions, from the origins of humanity through to the present. Full ethical consideration for animals resulting in the eschewing of flesh arose after the Aristotelian period in Greece and recurred in Ancient Rome, but then mostly disappeared for centuries. It was not until the turn of the nineteenth century that vegetarian thought was revived and enjoyed some success; it subsequently went into another period of decline that lasted through much of the twentieth century. The authority-questioning cultural revolution of the 1960s brought a fresh resurgence of vegetarian ethics that continues to the present day.
