Answer the following question in a 4 full pages (NOT including cover page & reference) double-spaced essay. TimesNewRoman 12……Given the pdf files attached, do you think it is reasonable to believe in the possibility of an afterlife? Why?
So far, today’s reading was different than any other readings we had. It is truly a complex one which shows different meaning to life and death. Perhaps Herbert is trying to show us his perceptive in a conceptual way which he explains well. It is like he is proving when humans die, they survive again which I do not agree with. In my opinion, I do not fully agree with Herbert’s theory because humans can’t die then exist again as same bodies. However, from my perspective, we could exist again in the afterlife as souls rather than same bodies and minds. Perhaps our minds, in life, could help us have a better afterlife.
The red above is what I think and want you to go based on this. Which is my considered opinion about the afterlife . But you need to include some class material(check pdf files). you need to demonstrate that you’ve read and thought about the material. The reference should be used based on the pdf but also YOUR opinion. DO NOT USE MORE THAN 4 CITATION, use from each pdf.
The assignment is not asking whether you personally believe in an afterlife, but if you think believe in an afterlife is reasonable. These are different, although they are (hopefully) related.
In general, you should consult the Philosophy Paper Checklist in the Resources for Writing Papers section of Blackboard. General Philosophy Paper Checklist:
A good paper is more than the sum of its parts, but the parts matter. Here’s a list of some things to check for before turning in your paper:
1) There is an introduction.
2) The introduction clearly states the thesis of your paper—that is, the introduction says what your ultimate answer to the paper’s question will be.
3) The introduction clearly states what the outline of your paper will be.
4) You thoroughly explain the relevant parts of the philosophers you’re talking about.
5) The explanation of the philosophers is written such that someone who had not read them could understand it.
6) There’s a clear distinction between the parts of your paper where you’re explaining what a philosopher said and where you’re interpreting or evaluating what they said.
7) You clearly state your own answer to the question (or questions) of the paper.
8) You give reasons for why your answer is correct, and why it’s better than the alternative. These reasons would make sense to any reasonable person who read them.
9) There are appropriate quotes from the article used (about one per page is good).
10) All quotes are properly cited with author and page in parentheses.
11) There’s a Work Cited section at the end of your paper with an entry for each person your quote, including: Author, Title, Publisher / Journal name, Year.
12) Each paragraph discusses only one idea.
13) Transitions between paragraphs make sense.
14) The final draft was spell-checked / grammar-checked.

Given the
pdf files
at
t
ached
,
do you think
it is reasonable to believe in the
possibility
of
an afterlife? Why?
So
far,
today’s
reading
was
different
than
any
other
readings
we
had.
It
is
truly
a
complex
one
which
shows
different
meaning
to
life
and
death.
Perhaps
Herbert
is
trying
to
show
us
his
perceptive
in
a
conceptual
way
which
he
explains
well.
It
is
like
he
is
proving
when
humans
die,
they
survive
again
which
I
do
not
agree
with.
In
my
opi
nion,
I
do
not
fully
agree
with
Herbert’s
theory
because
humans
can’t
die
then
exist
again
as
same
bodies.
However,
from
my
perspective,
we
could
exist
again
in
the
afterlife
as
souls
rather
than
same
bodies
and
minds.
Perhaps
our
minds,
in
life,
could
hel
p
us
have
a
better
afterlife.
The
red
ab
o
v
e
is
what
I
think
and
want
you
to
go
based
on
this.
W
hich
is my
considered opinion about the afterlife
.
But
you need to
include
some class
material
(check pdf files)
.
you
need to demonstrate that you’ve read and thought
about the material.
The reference should be used
based on the pdf but also YOUR
opinion. DO NOT USE MORE THAN 4 CITATION
,
use from each pdf
.
The assignment is not asking whether you
personally
believe in an afterlife, but if
you think believe
in an afterlife is reasonable. These are different, although they are
(hopefully) related.
In general, you should consult the Philosophy Paper Checklist in the Resources for
Writing Papers section of Blackboard.
