More about the book

We are currently experiencing a significant sociological crisis of orientation. New problems and needs have emerged, revealing fresh fears and longings. Many individuals are seeking a new foundation, a fundamental certainty, and a guiding compass for their lives and those of others. Despite the inconsistencies and ambivalence surrounding these issues, religion is gaining increased attention, encompassing both traditional faiths and new spiritual movements, including Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism. In both the East and West, the once-reliable notion of Progress has lost credibility; faith in a better future through science, technology, revolution, and socialism is now met with skepticism. While the elderly struggle to find meaning in death despite psychological advancements, younger generations—often labeled as apathetic and self-destructive—are reexamining the search for life's purpose. Interestingly, although science has largely undermined belief in immortality and has focused on prolonging life, it is now medicine that is challenging taboos surrounding death. Through its research into dying, medicine has revived inquiries about death and survival. However, the question remains: has medicine or parapsychology provided evidence of life after death?
