Table of contents

Indeed, participants who endorsed different beliefs about the afterlife including extinction and reincarnation in my own research overwhelmingly described reincarnation as a process of bodily change and many self-identified as belonging to reincarnationist traditions.

When the participants in my research were asked to reason about how to identify a reincarnated person—in practice—and in a forced-reasoning task and indeed when we look at cultural practices designed to establish or confirm the identity of reincarnated persons , they overwhelmingly privileged 1 similar physical marks between the deceased and living and 2 similar episodic memories between them as the most reliable evidence that the two are one and the same person, among alternatives.

This provides an example of a discrepancy between what people say occurs in reincarnation what my participants described and how they reason in another context.

The Science of Reincarnation

My studies did not focus on Buddhists especially. I used the example of Buddhism in the interview simply to illustrate how my findings could apply to other traditions. Specifically, if humans are predisposed to reason as though physicality and memory are reliable markers of continued identity over time, then it may well explain why people who endorse a concept of the self in reincarnation where memory does not continue in rebirth reason in ways which suggests that they assume it continues.

Forman claims that Buddhism endorses the idea of a non-permanent enduring self in this lifetime and the next. He then goes on to point to the cognitive science view of the self, which he claims is similar to the Buddhist view. Therefore, he concludes, because Buddhists doctrine like cognitive scientists has articulated how it is possible to have both a non-permanent enduring self and memory transfer within a lifetime, then there is no discrepancy between theology and i.

The analogy to the cognitive science view of self here is irrelevant, because I, like CSR scholars generally, am concerned more with how people reason in relation to ideas be they scientific or religious under certain conditions and contexts, than with the internal consistency of such ideas by the rules of abstract logic and devoid of ordinary human processing of such ideas everyday see McCauley, Forman is claiming that Buddhists scriptures have reconciled the view of a non-permanent self with memory transfer in rebirth. For instance, there are scriptural disagreements over whether people can remember past lives and who these people are e.

This aside, Forman agrees with my claim that laypersons in Buddhist traditions endorse a concept of the self where memory does not continue there is also some evidence for this, see Berniunas, unpublished dissertation. He disagrees, however, with the assumption that therefore reasoning as though memory continues contradicts this assumption. There is a fundamental error here between reasoning that what one theological interpretation of dogma claims about a concept is also the accepted lay view, even as an explicitly articulated notion. This is not necessarily the case. For example, Haradlsson and Samararatne point out that in South Asia Buddhist laypersons look for memory continuity in children who are not Tuluks and thus would not, presumably, have the privileged knowledge of memory continuity according to locally accepted theological discourse.

More carefully-tuned empirical research on how Buddhists reason under such contexts is needed. I and CSR scholars would welcome such research. Different traditions may adopt different versions of dogma that differ in key respects. This includes empirical research, and cannot be gleamed through scriptural interpretation alone.

Again, this demonstrates the importance of continued research that engages systematically with people on the ground. Claims that Eastern traditions do not reason about mind-body dualism are a common objection to CSR research and yet other research has shown that when subject to careful ethnographic and empirical treatment, people can and do reason in terms of mind-body dualism in non-western traditions see Astuti ; Slingerland, If my own participants Jains were not able to reason in terms of mind-body dualism, then they would have found the questions preposterous, yet they reasoned with ease and little complaint.

To say that karma features in how Jains reason about rebirth does not render my findings about memory and physicality as continuing after death moot. Rather, it points to the fact that my findings do not represent the complexity of karmic theories of rebirth or the salience of factors other than those that I have given to the participants to consider. Yet they are not supposed to, and nor do I claim anywhere that they do. Thus, it denies any role for human cognition in actively contributing to the rise of certain ideas common to reincarnationist traditions.
