About the Book

Death And Anti-Death, Volume 8: Fifty Years After Albert Camus (1913-1960) is edited by Charles Tandy, Ph.D.: ISBN 978-1-934297-10-0 is the Hardback edition and ISBN 978-1-934297-11-7 is the Paperback edition. Volume 8, as indicated by the anthology's subtitle, is in honor of Albert Camus (1913-1960). The chapters do not necessarily mention him (but some chapters do). The chapters (by professional philosophers and other professional scholars) are directed to issues related to death, life extension, and anti-death, broadly construed. Most of the contributions consist of scholarship unique to this volume. As was the case with all previous volumes in the Death And Anti-Death Series By Ria University Press, the anthology includes an Index as well as an Abstracts section that serves as an extended table of contents. (Volume 8 also includes a BRIEF COMMUNICATIONS section.) Volume 8 includes chapters by some of the world's leading living thinkers and doers, including: ------Gregory M. Fahy (Founder of biological vitrification research for large-scale organ banking) ------J. R. Lucas (Inventor of a version of the Gödelian Argument that minds are not mere machines) ------John Searle (Inventor of the Chinese Room Argument against Strong Artificial Intelligence). There are 18 chapters, as follows: ------CHAPTER ONE Homer, Heroes And Humanity: Vico's New Science On Death And Mortality (by Giorgio Baruchello) pages 33-52; ------CHAPTER TWO Cryonics: A Scientific Challenge To Death (by Benjamin P. Best) pages 53-78; ------CHAPTER THREE Primary Institutions (by Thomas O. Buford) pages 79-90; ------CHAPTER FOUR Physical And Biological Aspects Of Renal Vitrification (by Gregory M. Fahy et al.) pages 91-120; ------CHAPTER FIVE Latest Advances In Antiaging Medicine (by Terry Grossman) pages 121-146; ------CHAPTER SIX The Will To Believe (by William James) pages 147-170; ------CHAPTER SEVEN Politics, Death, And Camus's Late Anarchic Style (by John Randolph LeBlanc) pages 171-198; ------CHAPTER EIGHT Can One Be Harmed Posthumously? (by Jack Lee) pages 199-210; ------CHAPTER NINE The Gödelian Argument: Turn Over The Page (by J. R. Lucas) pages 211-224; ------CHAPTER TEN The Function Of Assisted Suicide In The System Of Human Rights (by Ludwig A. Minelli) pages 225-234; ------CHAPTER ELEVEN Death, Resurrection, And Immortality: Some Mathematical Preliminaries (by R. Michael Perry) pages 235-292; ------CHAPTER TWELVE The Chinese Room Argument (by John Searle) pages 293-302; ------CHAPTER THIRTEEN What's Best For Us (by Asher Seidel) pages 303-332; ------CHAPTER FOURTEEN Camus, Plague Literature, And The Apocalyptic Tradition (by David Simpson) pages 333-362; ------CHAPTER FIFTEEN The Absurd Walls Of Albert Camus (by Charles Taliaferro) pages 363-378; ------CHAPTER SIXTEEN Camusian Thoughts About The Ultimate Question Of Life (by Charles Tandy) pages 379-401; ------CHAPTER SEVENTEEN The UP-TO Project: How To Achieve World Peace, Freedom, And Prosperity (by Charles Tandy) pages 401-418); ------CHAPTER EIGHTEEN Life And Death, And The Identity Problem (by James Yount) pages 419-448. ------The INDEX begins on page 449.
