Abstract

The author reflects on the paper of Chandler. She remarks to find the paper difficult but fascinating particularly Chandler's argument that Sterne draws on an-ongoing tradition of argue on the fate of the soul after death, the "vehicular hypothesis." She added that the general theory of vehicularity was part of the eighteenth-century study of pneumatology or pneumatics (spiritual being), and was raised to offer philosophic arguments for the continued existence of the soul after death.
