Patrick Stokes: Personal identity, online memorials and death

Australian philosopher and author, Dr Patrick Stokes from Deakin University in Melbourne, offers his thoughts about how personal identity impacts how we contemplate our own death and the challenges and fears that may naturally arise as a result. He also tells us about his research into the modern phenomenon of online memorialisation as a way for us to remember the dead both in the present and into the future. www.patrickstokes.com This episode was hosted by Tsultrim and edited by Shannon Callander, with special thanks to Verena Coombs, Joshua Byrd, Kiara Fauzi.
