Human Immortality: Two Supposed Objections To The Doctrine is a philosophical work written by William James. The book explores the concept of human immortality and addresses two common objections to the idea. James argues that the first objection, which is based on the belief that immortality is impossible due to the laws of nature, is flawed because it assumes that we have a complete understanding of those laws. The second objection, which suggests that immortality would lead to boredom and a lack of motivation, is countered by James with the assertion that the human mind is capable of infinite growth and development, and that the pursuit of knowledge and experience would never become dull. Overall, James presents a thought-provoking argument in favor of the possibility and desirability of human immortality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
