To me, the remarkable fact is that as a philosopher, it doesn't seem to have even occurred to him that there might be an afterlife - or at least if did, he didn't choose to mention it.

That is remarkable because physical reality doesn't explain consciousness, so it would seem reasonable to at least consider that consciousness belongs to a larger reality.

basically a phenomenon of multiple consciousnesses interacting. Thus you can't use it to explain consciousness.
