The author tries to argue that, from the methodological position of reflected equilibrium, it seems to be reasonable to build a theory of personal identity that enables a person to continue her existence after the biological death of her body. This conclusion is supported by the argument that our practice reflects that our identity-pre-supposing concerns reach beyond biological continuity. We have also good reasons to maintain such concerns and practices. As the best candidate to implement such concerns in a theoretical account of practical identity, he will identify the person-life view, where personal identity depends to a great extent on social conditions. The author also shows how this theory can implement the classical belief in the afterlife, and how it could conceptualize the difference of the afterlife from a physical and a theistic point of view.

In the article the literary works by Slavic writers (O. Tokarczuk, M. Kisiel, J. Grzędowicz, D. Kužel, D. Kovačević, etc.) are considered within the framework of a study based on the material of more than a hundred literary texts belonging to Russian, European and North American fantasy of the 20 – 21 centuries. The study is aimed at depicting the Universe of Afterlife (UA) as a special locus of the post-mortem existence of a human being (soul). It asserts the compliance of the analysed works with the "canon" of depicting the UA from the point of view of the problems, structure and functions of the investigated artistic image. Simultaneously, it specifies the peculiarity of theme interpretation by Slavic authors: the greater value of ethnic elements in the plot of works, the consideration of national historical and cultural contexts in creating individual author's models of the Universe of Afterlife.

The first part of a series of articles concerning Zoroastrian penal tradition deals with the theoretical background of legal thinking. According to the Zoroastrian theory of penal law the aim of the punishment was the salvation of the soul of the delinquent, while the idea of compensation of the offended party is also discernable. The crimes and sins called 'winah i ruwanig' affected above all the soul and salvation of the delinquent. By contrast, those misdemeanours which caused harm to third parties, too, were known as 'winah i hamemalan'. The penitence of the delinquent was of crucial importance in light of his afterlife and salvation. The crimes were classified by three different methods, reflecting both religious and political considerations. The former was elaborated in the 'Videvdad' and a priestly work called 'Sayast-ne-sayast', while the latter in a historical writing, 'The Letter of Tansar'. The horror caused by different crimes led to the description of hell in an apocalyptic work, the 'Arda Wiraz Namag'.
