Ines Testoni "Indizi dell'oltre"

Ines Testoni "Clues of the Beyond" A scientific and philosophical exploration of the mystery of death Mondadori Editore www.mondadori.it (http://www.mondadori.it) Edited by Bruno Neri Federico Faggin, Bruno Neri, Adine Gavazzi, Tania Re, Enrico Facco, Ines Testoni, Silvia Bianchi, Ciro Conversano, Luigi Arnaboldi, Laura Vavassori The most delicate and mysterious moment in human existence is when the uninterrupted arc of experience of the world and of the self, which began with birth, reaches its seemingly definitive turning point: death. Philosophies and religions of every era and culture have speculated on what might exist beyond biological life, appealing, depending on the case, to reason or faith, with different metaphysical positions, profound reflections on the nature of reality, and a systematic exploration of the inner world through mystical currents and contemplative practices. This approach—which envisions the fusion of science, philosophy, and religion—has been forgotten by Western scientific thought, which has instead marked a profound divide between science and spirituality and between life and death, proclaiming imminent proof of the complete reducibility of consciousness to its neural correlates. The failure to achieve this goal, combined with the advent of quantum physics in the debate on consciousness, has thrown Western scientific thought into crisis, restoring a central role to subjective experience and highlighting the need to open it to disciplines that lie beyond the limits of neuroscience: anthropology, psychology, philosophy, theology... For this reason, Clues of the Beyond proposes research on death and consciousness from various perspectives, positioned at the crossroads of Western science and Eastern wisdom. In the chapters of this gripping essay, scientists, doctors, philosophers, anthropologists, psychotherapists, thanatologists, and theologians grapple with the great universal questions that have haunted humankind since the dawn of time, inviting readers to embark on a journey that crosses and explores the most mysterious boundaries of existence, those that mark the passage from life to death, a journey guided by science toward a place of the mind: knowledge.
