A Critique of Arguments Offered Against Reincarnation
Robert Almeder, Department of Philosophy, University Plaza, Georgia

In his recently published book Reincarnation: A Critical Examination
(Amherst, New York: Promethius Books, 1996), Paul Edwards has offered
a number of arguments against the possibility of reincarnation. It is
a sweeping effort to show that the very idea of reincarnation is illogical
and indefensible. While not arguing directly for reincarnation, this
essay criticizes the main arguments, methodology and polemics wielded
in what is more an effort to debunk than to carry out the critical examination
claimed in the title of the book. In criticizing Edward's arguments
this essay is criticizing the major objections available against the
reincarnation hypothesis.
