Abstract

Near Death Experiences (NDEs) do not fit easily into the typical philosophies that ground and animate medical science and medical practice. By appealing to their scientifically based everyday philosophies, practitioners will sometimes be dismissive of patients' NDEs. However, reality and our conscious experience of reality always seem to overflow our scientific explanations, whether those explanations are biological, social, or psychological. However, it is usually at the very edges of our concepts and everyday philosophies that reality reveals itself to our conscious awareness. If we pay attention to these experiences that challenge our everyday philosophies, something good might be revealed that is more important than adhering to the truth as imagined by our everyday philosophies. NDEs might serve as a point of the revelation of goodness.
