Letter to the Editor: More Comments on the Book Near-Death Experiences by Fischer and Mitchell-Yellin (original) (raw)

This letter critiques the book "Near-Death Experiences: Understanding Visions of the Afterlife" by Fischer and Mitchell-Yellin, arguing that their endorsement of physicalism as the best explanation for near-death experiences (NDEs) is fundamentally flawed. The author contends that physicalism inadequately addresses the existence of phenomenal consciousness and overlooks significant cases challenging a purely physicalist interpretation of NDEs. The letter suggests that Fischer and Mitchell-Yellin's dismissal of relevant medical knowledge further undermines their arguments.
