This study examines the metaphysical periscope of the phenomena of life after death and near death experiences with the lenses of epistemology and logic. Although most cultures and religions accept the belief in life after death unassailably, the questions concerning its actuality, its nature, and near death experiences have been under keen debates by some thinkers in the disciplines of Philosophy, Religion and Psychology. This study analyses these metaphysical phenomena critically and exposes in details some religious, cultural and psychological claims made about them. It examines the epistemological and logical status of these knowledge claims. The study argues that although some claims made about afterlife and near death experiences seem rational and convincing; any claim to knowledge of absolute certainty regarding these phenomena - removed from mundane existence and experiences - is epistemologically suspicious since there is no valid epistemic intersection of extra-terrestrial realms and the material world. The study also argues that just like any affirmation, any denial of certain knowledge of afterlife and near death experiences conversely rests on logical fallacy of argumentum ad ignorantiam. It then recommends careful and detail examination of these phenomena before their acceptance or rejection, since the belief or non-belief in them influences the way we live our lives. Conclusively, it holds that given the weight of evidence, the affirmations of the claims to afterlife and near death experiences seem more rational than denial, and are more likely to be true than otherwise. The study adopts the conceptual, critical and speculative methods of philosophical inquiry.
