Abstract: (191 Views) |
NDE is one of the topics of interest to thinkers of experimental sciences, philosophers and theologians. Psychologists have sought to analyze these experiences by presenting models of expectation, birth and personality transformation. Physiologists have considered it as hallucinations caused by the release of hormones, damage to the brain region, changes in blood pressure and similar causes. Each of the theories has flaws. The problem of research in this article is to compare the views of Islamic philosophy and mysticism on these experiences and compare them with the opinions of physicists. The research method of this article is based on the collection of mystical and philosophical information from the library method and data processing from the descriptive-analytical method and a critical comparison with the view of physicalists. The findings of this research indicate the possibility of comparing these experiences with mystical intuition and as a result of using mystical and philosophical criteria to evaluate them. The possibility of referring to these experiences to prove life after death, accepting moral and mystical advice on them while accepting the possibility of error and avoiding jurisprudential inferences based on them are other findings of this research.
Keywords: Experience, Death, Psychology, Physiology, Islamic Philosophy, Islamic Mysticism, Imaginary World.
