The contributors to this volume testify to the reality of life after death. This teleologic perspective demonstrates that the world would be without sense in the absence of life after death. The existence of life after death is currently supported even in some branches of academic research and science. Mathematicians with interest in philosophy, such as Kurt Gödel (1906-1978), have expressed the conviction that the human soul is immortal and that in the future it will be possible to scientifically demonstrate this. Opposing the metaphysical devaluations resulting from positivism, Gödel aimed to develop a formal metaphysical theory which include the concepts of God and soul..
