Summary
The underlying philosophy of this new volume aims to facilitate – even expand – dialogue between clinically orientated scientists, theologians and philosophers over questions posed by neurological disorders in relation to emergent ‘spiritual/religious’ outcomes, real or artefact. This chapter specifically engages with Near-Death and Out-of-Body Experiences (ND/OBE), examining how these events might contribute to such dialogue.
