The Belief In Immortality On Purely Logical Principles (1881)

The book ""The Belief In Immortality On Purely Logical Principles"" was written by Joseph B. Gross and was first published in 1881. The book is a philosophical exploration of the concept of immortality and the belief in an afterlife, presented from a purely logical perspective. Gross argues that belief in immortality is not simply a matter of faith or intuition, but can be logically deduced from a careful examination of the nature of the human mind and the universe as a whole. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the argument for immortality. Gross begins by examining the nature of consciousness and the self, arguing that the existence of a conscious self implies the possibility of continued existence beyond physical death. He then goes on to explore the concept of causality and the nature of time, arguing that the universe itself provides evidence for the possibility of an afterlife. Throughout the book, Gross draws on a wide range of philosophical and scientific sources, including the works of Immanuel Kant, Arthur Schopenhauer, and Charles Darwin. He also engages with religious and spiritual traditions, including Christianity and Hinduism, in order to explore the various ways in which belief in immortality has been understood throughout history.Overall, ""The Belief In Immortality On Purely Logical Principles"" is a thought-provoking and challenging exploration of one of the most fundamental questions of human existence. It is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, religion, or the nature of consciousness and the self.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
