Hij ontkracht wel degelijk iets met zijn artikel:
In de inleiding wordt gezegd:
"This paper critiques the widespread secular misunderstanding of death as a plunge into oblivion. It uses a thought experiment about personal identity similar to those employed by British philosopher Derek Parfit in his tour de force Reasons and Persons. By degrees, the reader is supposed to see that the notion of a blank or emptiness following death is incoherent, and that therefore we should not anticipate the end of experience when we die. This conclusion has a bit of a mystical feel to it, even though the premises are naturalistic."
Dus hij bekritiseert (ontkract) het wijdverspreide (ook op dit forum) seculiere misverstand dat de dood een sprong in oblivion is. Enz.
