Description

Description from OpenAlex (opens in a new tab)

This is the first comprehensive and systematic evaluation of reincarnation and Karma in any language. Renowned philosopher Paul Edwards exposes the many flaws in the arguments supporting the belief in reincarnation and the so-called Law of Karma. He also covers the alleged evidence in support of reincarnation, including child prodigies, deja vu experiences, hypnotic regressions, and 'reincarnation memories'. Finally, he discusses in some detail the claims of the leading figures in the recent immortality movement, in particular Elisabeth Knbler-Ross, Raymond Moody, and Dr Stanislov Grof Edwards' wit and clarity make this a fascinating, accessible, and enjoyable work.
