For this weekly check-in, read the ninth chapter, “Death,” on pp. 87-94 in your book What Does It All Mean? by Thomas Nagel. While discussing the possibility of life after death, Nagel says:
If we go only by ordinary observation, rather than religious doctrines or spiritualist claims to communicate with the dead, there is no reason to believe in an afterlife.
For your original thread, discuss whether you believe this statement is true and why or why not. In your paragraph, you may also discuss any other aspects of this chapter that stood out to you.
After posting your original thread, reply to at least two classmates. You may let them know whether you share their ideas if their post helped you to think of things in a new way, etc.
