Human Immortality: Two Supposed Objections to the Doctrine

""Human Immortality: Two Supposed Objections to the Doctrine"" is a philosophical work by William James, first published in 1898. The book tackles the question of whether or not human beings can achieve immortality, and examines two common objections to the idea. The first objection is that immortality is impossible because it would require the preservation of the physical body, which is subject to decay and death. The second objection is that immortality is undesirable because it would lead to boredom and a lack of motivation in life. James argues that both of these objections are flawed, and presents his own arguments in favor of the possibility and desirability of immortality. He draws on a range of philosophical and religious traditions, including Christianity, Buddhism, and Hinduism, to support his arguments. The book is a thought-provoking exploration of one of the most fundamental questions of human existence, and remains a classic of philosophical literature.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1922 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
