There are many different views on life after death. Many religious traditions have different views on what life after death really is, all religious ethical systems are formed on the premise that moral behaviour in this life will be rewarded in the next life. The moral codes of their ethical systems are actually enforced with the promise and threat of rewards and sanctions in the afterlife. There is a belief that their actions in their presence life will have an impact on how they will live after they die. Being able to establish our own views on the afterlife can be difficult; this requires the application of a personal experience of life to a post-mortem being. A good place to start is to explore the continuity of personhood and the afterlife. Modern philosophers are mainly supports of monism. This is the theory that a person consists of a physical body and a material brain, both of which is part of the same mortal entity and will perish at death. A Theorist Richard Dawkins was a hard materialist who argued from a biological materialist perspective. He takes a reductionist approach and proposes that life amount to nothing more that bytes of digital information contained in the “quaternary code” DNA. In contemporary Christian thought a person is usually regarded as a psycho-physical unity and the argument for the immorality of the soul is grounded in the notion that it is only immortal in God and through God's will. Arguments for the existence of life after death are usually routed in the Cartesian-dualist philosophy that people have composite natures consisting of physical and meta-physical elements. The meta-physical component usually referred to as the soul or mind is the immortal, non-reducible entity that exists necessarily. For a dualist therefore, the afterlife is fundamental for their system of belief. Dualism can trace its routes back to ancient Greek thought. Greeks cited the body as a tomb of the eternal soul, and the ultimate destiny of the soul to be released from the body. According to Platonic thought, there are three components that make up a person: 1. The physical body 2. The mind 3. The psyche Western Traditions i.e. Christianity usually focus on this as the only life followed by a fruitful eternity in heaven or damnation in hell. Heaven is seen as the reward for obedience and performance according to the particular ethical system and hell is seen as the punishment for disobedience. The philosophical foundations for such a belief can be traced back to Plato who argued for the immortality of the soul as non-reducible simple entity. Within the western traditions there has been a long concept of the after-life. This identity is often but no exclusively seen as the soul and it is through this vehicle of the soul that the individual is judged on the actions of their earthly existence and, if the right conditions have been met, according to certain expectations then of the religion concerned they will then be passed on to paradise. The belief that somehow we are born, die and reborn into new bodies is one of the m
