"In What Is It Like To Be Dead?, Jens Schlieter argues that to understand recent testimonies
of near-death experiences, we need to be aware of the history of innumerable reports
of earlier near-death experiences that were communicated and handed down in scores
of newspapers, journals, and books. Collections of such testimonies have been published
for more than 150 years, accompanied by attempts to classify and interpret them. Schlieter
analyzes the religious relevance of near-death experiences -for the experiencers themselves,
but also for the growing audience attracted by these testimonies. Near-death experiences
bear ontological, epistemic, intersubjective, and moral significance, ranging from
reassurance that religious experience is still possible to claims that they initiate
a new spiritual orientation in life, or offer evidence for the transcultural validity
of afterlife beliefs." -- Publisher's description
