Philosophical criticism of reincarnation

Ivan Macan ; Filozofski fakultet Družbe Isusove, Zagreb, Hrvatska

Abstract

In his philosophical approach to the teaching of reincarnation, in the first part of his paper the author endeavours, after having explained the terms, a presentation of the presuppositions and grounds in favour of this teaching. In the second part he presents the arguments which, based on his own philosophical deliberations, are definitely in favour of rejecting teaching on reincarnation as a maxim for one's own life and actions. One of the main reasons for this rejecting is safeguarding one's own identity and per¬sonality as the foundations of moral life which is inconsistent with the no¬tion of reincarnation.
