Death And Anti-Death, Volume 6: Thirty Years After Kurt Gödel (1906-1978)[Charles Tandy, Ph.D., Editor] [ISBN 978-1-934297-03-2] ------Volume 6, as indicated by the anthology's subtitle, is in honor of Kurt Gödel (1906-1978). The chapters do not necessarily mention him. The chapters (by professional philosophers and other professional scholars) are directed to issues related to death, life extension, and anti-death, broadly construed. Most of the contributions consist of scholarship unique to this volume. As was the case with all previous volumes in the Death And Anti-Death Series By Ria University Press, the anthology includes an Index as well as an Abstracts section that serves as an extended table of contents.
