A Lecture Delivered Before the Independent Religious Society, Chicago
Tietoa kirjasta
In 'Is Life Worth Living Without Immortality?', M. M. Mangasarian explores the philosophical question of whether life holds any value if there is no eternal afterlife. Through a series of compelling arguments and thought-provoking reflections, Mangasarian delves into the implications of a finite existence on humanity's beliefs, values, and perceptions of morality. Written in a clear and concise style, the book presents a critical examination of the concept of immortality and its significance in the context of human existence, making it a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in existential philosophy. M. M. Mangasarian, a prominent freethinker and rationalist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, was known for his influential lectures and writings challenging religious dogma and promoting skepticism. His own background as a former clergyman turned agnostic provided him with a unique perspective on the subject of immortality and its implications for human life, which is reflected in this insightful work. I highly recommend 'Is Life Worth Living Without Immortality?' to readers interested in exploring the complexities of human existence and the philosophical underpinnings of beliefs about life and death. Mangasarian's eloquent arguments and thought-provoking insights make this book a valuable addition to any philosophical library.
