Models and Accounts of Resurrection

Examine Simulacra and Falling Elevator models and Accounts of Resurrection.

Summarize Peter van Inwagen’s Simulacra and Dean Zimmerman’s Falling Elevator models and accounts of Resurrection.

Discuss Aquinas’s account of the resurrection (as contained in my article “St. Thomas on Death, Resurrection, and Personal Identity”).

Then critically evaluate one or two of these positions. Tell me why you agree or disagree. But be sure to give reasons why you agree or disagree. The summary part of the writing assignment counts 2/3 of your grade; the critical evaluation part counts 1/3 of your grade.
