Reincarnation and Relativized Identity
View through CrossRef
There are five main claims that may be made about life after death:(a) We are reincarnated in the self-same body we had in life.(b) We are reincarnated in another body. (For my purposes in this paper it is a matter of indifference whether this is thought of as reincarnation in anotherworld, or as reincarnation in this world: the arguments I shall be examining apply equally to either case. Throughout the paper the term ‘reincarnation’ used without qualification should be taken to mean ‘reincarnation in a different body’.)(c) We are revived, or continue to live (or to have conscious existence) in a disembodied form.
