Near Death Experiences

Mark Fox and others have theorized that near-death experiences may have a “survival value” as narratives on their own in life-threatening situations. However, to describe the arrival at the “border” (as some reported) as a point of no return in parallel to the person’s real survival would, however, imply that consciousness is somehow able to decide over the matter of life or death. To speak of a survival value of the narratives themselves is therefore highly speculative. This chapter argues that it is more likely to assume that the “border” topos is connected to postexperiential consciousness making sense of the fact that it survived the threat.
