ABSTRACT

Since the Enlightenment, reductionism has been an important part of the development of science and civilization. The process of abstracting features of the world and reducing them to their most basic components has greatly increased our grasp of the physical and chemical rules that govern physical reality at all levels. However, central aspects of reductionism have been challenged with the growing literature on religious/spiritual experiences after near-death experiences (NDEs) that challenge standard reductionistic models of the brain. In this paper, an alternative model of emergent dualism is proposed for examining NDEs and the mind.

濒死体验和新兴二元论

摘要

自启蒙运动以来，还原论一直是科学和文明发展的重要组成部分。将世界的特征抽象化并将它们简化为最基本的组成部分的过程大大提高了我们对支配各个层面物理现实的物理和化学规则的掌握。然而，还原论的核心方面受到了越来越多关于濒死体验 (NDE) 后宗教/精神体验的文献的挑战，这些文献挑战了大脑的标准还原论模型。在本文中，提出了一种新兴二元论的替代模型，用于检查濒死体验和心灵。
