Death and Consciousness
Due to the mind-body dichotomy, much interest and debate surround the question of what happens to one's consciousness as one's body dies. The permanent loss of consciousness after death is often called "eternal oblivion". Faith or belief that consciousness is preserved after physical death is described by the term "afterlife." For the scientific aspect of consciousness after death, see the article Consciousness after death.

Famous quotes containing the word death:
“Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness. And being found in human form, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death M even death on a cross.”
—Bible: New Testament, Philippians 2:5-8.
