Concept information

Preferred term

transcending death  

Definition(s)

  • One remarkable paradox of existence is that the obvious decay of human bodies after death has frequently been countered by beliefs in immortality. Myths, religious doctrines, and philosophical ideas explaining this possibility reveal the power of meaning making as an integrated process of human thought and feeling.
