Synopsis
Excerpt from The Evolution of Immortality
The sphinx, with the teeming breasts of a woman and the cruel claws of a tiger, is the eternal parable of Nature. She is equally equipped to produce and nourish or to rend and kill. Men of all ages have tried to gather from her stony gaze which she means to do. Not a few will turn away with impatience from another attempt to read the eternal riddle. "If a man die shall he live again?" is the burden of the old drama of Uz. An endless human interest attaches to the question, so strong that however often it be abandoned it must needs be once again renewed. It beckons while it eludes. There is no reason to believe that men will ever be content to sit down before it or to definitely abandon it as insoluble. Once and again an answer has been found.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book challenges traditional assumptions about the nature of the soul and its destiny. The author, writing at the turn of the 20th century, examines the relationship between mind and body, tracing the evolution of consciousness through the animal kingdom and challenging the long-held belief that humans possess a unique and inherently immortal soul. By exploring the scientific discoveries of the time, particularly those surrounding instinct and reason in animals, the author delves into the complex relationship between the physical and the spiritual. Through a detailed exploration of ancient philosophical and religious perspectives on the soul, the author questions the validity of both pagan and Christian ideas on immortality and the afterlife. This book provides a thought-provoking analysis of the soul, ultimately inviting readers to consider a new understanding of what it means to be human. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781440090585_0
