If nothing of a man survives after death but his understanding and the abstract ideas that only his understanding can grasp, what would the "afterlife" be like? No sensation, no imagination to shape the pure understanding, and no real experience. Would it even be possible to call this life? Is the plane of Forms really comparable to heaven at all?
