Learning that there is life after death
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 29 (5):475-476 (2006)
Abstract
Bering's argument that human beings are endowed with a cognitive system dedicated to forming illusory representations of psychological immortality relies on the claim that children's beliefs in the afterlife are not the result of religious teaching. We suggest four reasons why this claim is unsatisfactory.Links
