The Death And Anti-Death Series By Ria University Press discusses issues and controversies related to death, life extension, and anti-death. A variety of differing points of view are presented and argued. Death And Anti-Death, Volume 14: Four Decades After Michael Polanyi, Three Centuries After G. W. Leibniz is edited by Charles Tandy, Ph.D.: ISBN 978-1-934297-25-4 is the Hardback edition and ISBN 978-1-934297-26-1 is the Softback edition. (It is available from most retail bookstores and all Espresso Book Machines.) (It is distributed by Ingram: Ingram is the world's largest book distribution network.) Volume 14, as indicated by the anthology's subtitle, is in honor of Michael Polanyi and of G. W. Leibniz. The chapters do not necessarily mention them (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. 1.------CHAPTER ONE The Philosophy Of Michael Polanyi And Some Contemporary Attitudes To Life And Death (by R.
