The Immortality Of Man According To The Views Of The Men Of The Enlightenment

""The Immortality Of Man According To The Views Of The Men Of The Enlightenment: The Ingersoll Lecture 1926"" by Gustav Kruger is a book that explores the concept of immortality from the perspective of the thinkers of the Enlightenment era. The book is based on the Ingersoll Lecture delivered by the author in 1926, in which he delves into the ideas of philosophers such as Voltaire, Rousseau, and Kant, among others, and their views on the afterlife and the continuation of the human soul beyond death. Kruger examines the various arguments put forth by these Enlightenment thinkers, who believed in the power of reason and rationality, and how they approached the question of immortality. He also discusses the influence of religion and theology on their beliefs, and how they sought to reconcile their rationality with their faith.The book is a fascinating exploration of the philosophical and intellectual currents of the Enlightenment era, and how they shaped our modern understanding of the concept of immortality. It is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, history, and the evolution of human thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
