COMMENT:A classic case for skepticism about personality surviving death. Its argument is mainly philosophical, though it is based on the thesis of "monistic psychology." Little has changed in the decades since this first came out, even as far as the general evidential picture goes. Curiously, Lamont considers psychical research to be of little relevance where survival is concerned, even giving it the benefit of the doubt with telepathy. Concludes with an affirmative discussion of life without immortality.
