THE REVISED ANNOTATION for 978-1-934297-10-0 and for 978-1-934297-11-7 Death And Anti-Death, Volume 8: Fifty Years After Albert Camus (1913-1960) is edited by Charles Tandy, Ph.D.: ISBN 978-1-934297-10-0 is the Hardback edition and ISBN 978-1-934297-11-7 is the Paperback edition. Volume 8, as indicated by the anthology's subtitle, is in honor of Albert Camus (1913-1960). The chapters do not necessarily mention him (but some chapters do). The chapters (by professional philosophers and other professional scholars) are directed to issues related to death, life extension, and anti-death, broadly construed. Most of the contributions consist of scholarship unique to this volume. As was the case with all previous volumes in the Death And Anti-Death Series By Ria University Press, the anthology includes an Index as well as an Abstracts section that serves as an extended table of contents. (Volume 8 also includes a BRIEF COMMUNICATIONS section.) Volume 8 includes chapters by some of the world’s leading living thinkers and doers, including: ------Gregory M. Fahy (Founder of biological vitrification research for large-scale organ banking) ------J. R. Lucas (Inventor of a version of the Gödelian Argument that minds are not mere machines) ------John Searle (Inventor of the Chinese Room Argument against Strong Artificial Intelligence).
