Abstract: | This article consists of a summary of the central points in the work of recent investigators of near-death experiences (NDEs).
It considers the work of Moody, Osis, Rawlings, Ring, Sabom, and Grof as well as the criticisms of Noyes and Siegel. The appearance
of a common core in the experiences suggests the presence of more than ordinary hallucinations. However, NDEs seem to be not
literal experiences of life beyond death but archetypal experiences, the judgment of the validity of which will depend on
one's assessment of depth symbolism. |
