Man And The Attainment Of Immortality (1922)

Man And The Attainment Of Immortality, written by James Young Simpson in 1922, explores the concept of immortality and the human desire to achieve it. The book delves into various religious and philosophical beliefs surrounding immortality, including the idea of an afterlife and reincarnation. Simpson also examines scientific theories and advancements, such as cryonics and the search for the fountain of youth, that aim to extend human life indefinitely. Throughout the book, Simpson provides a critical analysis of these beliefs and theories, questioning their validity and practicality. He ultimately argues that while the attainment of immortality may be a human desire, it is ultimately unattainable and that we should focus on living meaningful lives in the present. This book offers a fascinating insight into the human desire for eternal life and the various ways in which we have attempted to achieve it throughout history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
