@St_Rev@sarahdoingthing What’s interesting here is showing that life after death is independent of the mind/body problem. -
@St_Rev Unger’s strength is following arguments to gonzo extremes so you see how they break; but he’s not a clear thinker. -
@St_Rev van Inwagen thinks and writes very clearly, but aims at predetermined Catholic conclusions. Still a pleasure to read, relatively. - End of conversation
