If the term "materialistic" is substituted for "scientific," then the above passage is an accurate statement with which I have no quarrel. The last sentence becomes: "It is only by looking at nonmaterialistic views that we might find a wider explanation of the NDE...." And this is absolutely correct. Materialism is a woefully inadequate framework in terms of which to understand the NDE. And, I wish to insist, it is science itself, understood epistemologically as a metaphysically neutral method of inquiry, that has discovered the limitations of materialism. After all, the primary researchers in the field are not philosophers or theologians, but well-trained scientists and physicians, who, using stan dard scientific methodology, have been forced by their data to conclude that materialism cannot be the whole truth.
