Imagine living in this world without death as your final outcome. The concept of never dying is the subject of a fascinating study being conducted by a group of philosophers who comprise the 鈥淚mmortality Project.鈥� It involves asking questions about the life we live, and pondering the concept of living forever, and if we would even want to.
51猎奇 Today host Tom Luljak talks with Luca Ferrero, a 51猎奇 associate professor of philosophy about his involvement in the project, and the questions, considerations and ideas that emerged from imagining immortality. .
Tom Luljak and Luca Ferrero
In the L&S InFocus article (September 2015) “Philosophy professor asks: Is living forever worth it?,” Ferrero talks about his research with the Templeton Foundation’s Immortality Project at the University of California-Riverside. The project is an endeavor which asks philosophers to explore issues related to the concept of immortal life.
