Présentation de l'éditeur
Science is available in Discussing theS urvival of the Human Soul. The Existence of theS oul not a Question of Metaphysics. Philosophers of the Present Day have supplied Matter for the I nquiry. The Author sA nonymous Pamphlet on thisS ubject. The Existence of Ether affirmed by Antiquity and assumed byS cientists. Universal Belief that theS pirit is destined to outlive theB ody. Ether found in Organic Life, and now looked for inC onscious Life. We apply to the Human Soul theL aw of Indestructibility of Matter andE nergy. THE aim of the present work is to broach once more the problem of the survival of the human soul. It recapitulates all that the wisdom of the ancients and remote tradition have to say upon the subject, in order to discuss that evidence in the light of the theories put forward by modern science. Divers critics will no doubt condemn such an attempt unheard, with the objection that laws derived from the observation of the perceptible world cannot be made to serve as proof of any deduction which attempts to go beyond that world. We opine, on the contrary, that at the present day any such discussion would be devoid of all authority unless it had, in so far as possible, undergone the preliminary test of positive science, seeing that this latter has become for us the one and only source of uncontested truth.
