Synopsis

The Conception of Immortality is a philosophical book written by Josiah Royce, originally published in 1900. The book explores the concept of immortality and its role in human life and religion. Royce argues that the idea of immortality is central to many religious and philosophical traditions, and that it serves as a source of hope and meaning for individuals and societies. He examines the different ways that immortality has been conceived throughout history, and considers the implications of these conceptions for human life and society. Royce also discusses the challenges and criticisms that have been leveled against the idea of immortality, and offers his own perspective on how it can be understood and valued. The Conception of Immortality is a thought-provoking and insightful work that offers a nuanced exploration of one of the most enduring and complex ideas in human thought.1904. Josiah Royce was born in California where he began his teaching career. From 1882 he taught philosophy at Harvard where William James was an early influence. After the latter's death, Royce became the leading American philosopher of his day, always applying his thought to concrete moral issues and drawing upon an exceptional understanding of music, literature and history. In Conception of Immortality is Royce's explanation of the mystery of life and the nature of man.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Extract from the -will of Miss Caroline Haskell I ngersoll, who died in Keene, County of Cheshire New Hampshire Jan. 2b, i8gj. First. In carrying out the wishes of my late beloved father, George Goldthwait I ngersoll, as declared by him in his last will and testament, I give and bequeath to Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass., where my late father was graduated, and which he always held in love and honor, the sum of Five thousand dollars ($5,000) as a fund for the establishment of a Lectureship on a plan somewhat similar to that of the Dudleian lecture, that is one lecture to be delivered each year, on any convenient day between the last day of May and the first day of December, on this subject, the Immortality of Man, said lecture not to form a part of the usual college course, nor to be delivered by any Professor or Tutor as part of his usual routine of instruction, though any such Professor or Tutor may be appointed to such service. The choice of said lecturer is not to be limited to any one religious denomination, nor to any one profession, but may be that of either clergyman or layman, the appointment to take place at least six months before the delivery of said lecture. The above sum to be safely invested and three fourths of the annual interest thereof to be paid to the lecturer for his services and the remaining fourth to be expended in the pubhshment and gratuitous distribution of the lecture, a copy of which is always to be furnished by the lecturer for such purpose. The same lecture to be named and known as the Ingersoll lecture on the Immortality of Man.
