Life After Death is a controversial topic in which Bertrand Russell and John Hick discuss the idea of ​​whether it is possible to have an afterlife. Russell addresses his argument against this idea through his brief essay titled “The Illusion of Immortality” (1957). Additionally, Hick also addresses the subject through his work "In Defense of Life after Death" (1983) on why life after death is a plausible idea. In this article I will discuss Russell's argument against the belief in an afterlife. Additionally, I will also address the opposing view by explaining Hick's argument for life after death. My aim in this article is to highlight, through the analysis of life after death, how Russell occupies, in my opinion, the strongest position. Russell is a bundle theorist. Bundle theory states that objects are made up of a set of properties. He uses this as a viewpoint to discuss the topic of life after death, stating that basically if a person's brain is dissolved and all we are left with is our memories, it would be of no use because the death is the end. He begins by explaining that “...it is unreasonable to believe that our personality and our memories will survive the destruction of our body” (Russell 1957: 377). He does this by explaining how, in the past, "philosophers believed that there were definite substances, the soul and the body, which each lasted from day to day, that a soul, once created, continued to exist in future time. whereas a body has ceased temporarily from death until the resurrection of the body” (Russell 1957, 377). He states that this idea is obviously false because the matter in our body is constantly changing. He then makes an analogy to how "our memories and habits are linked... middle of paper... to the appearance of death." Russell opposed life after death, while Hick argued in its defense. Russell's argument for life after death as a whole emphasized that it is not possible to continue to exist after death because death is simply the end. Hick's argument for life after death was discussed through his John Smith thought experiment and his view of parapsychology. Works cited by Pojman, Louis P. and Fieser James.
