The Idea of Immortality is a book based on a series of lectures delivered by A. Seth Pringle-Pattison in 1922 as part of the Gifford Lectures. The book explores the concept of immortality, which has been a topic of interest for philosophers and theologians for centuries. Pringle-Pattison examines the different ways in which immortality has been understood throughout history and across cultures, and he considers the implications of these various perspectives for our understanding of life, death, and the nature of existence. He also discusses the challenges and limitations of trying to understand immortality from a human perspective, and he offers his own thoughts on what immortality might mean for us as individuals and as a society. The book is a thoughtful and engaging exploration of one of the most enduring and complex ideas in human history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
