Near-death experiences and meaning in life

Philosopher John Martin Fischer discusses death, immortality, and finding meaning in life, as well as how near-death experiences fit into the picture. Joining him in the conversation are Tod Goldberg, a professor of creative writing and director of the University of California, Riverside’s Palm Desert low-residency MFA program, and Maggie Downs, an alumna of the MFA program and the UC Riverside Palm Desert Center’s director of marketing and outreach.

Fischer is a distinguished professor of philosophy at UC Riverside and director of the Immortality Project, a $5.2 million research initiative established in 2012 to advance our understanding of immortality and its relevance to how we live in the present. Also an expert in near-death experiences, Fischer is the author of the 2019 book “Death, Immortality, and Meaning in Life" and a co-author of the 2016 book "Near-Death Experiences: Understanding Visions of the Afterlife," both published by Oxford University Press.
