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.
