Philosopher Michael Sudduth argues that survival hypothesis is not the best explanation of the cases of mental madiumship.
Stephen Braude regards M.Sudduth's work as the "first rate".
The only "hopeful" thing for survival hypothesis Sudduth states: "This creates the illusion that the survival hypothesis actually
explains something, when what has been shown, at best, is only that non-survival
alternatives do not explain the data. In this way, the explanatory merits of the survival
hypothesis have rested almost entirely on the claim that the data in question are otherwise
inexplicable, rather than proposing something substantial that has definite empirical
consequences."
M.Sudduth is not materialist(as I understand). He is former Chrisitan who converted to Hinduism.
