Excerpt from Two Thousand Years After: Or a Talk in a Cemetery
Aside from the intentions just noted, it may not but be seen that a dialogic form is that best adapted to a manner of composition, where frequent explanations are rendered necessary in order that meanings may be made plain.
In the arguments here presented, it is assumed that the capability of man is tripartite but that everything else in na ture is strictly dual. If such a distinction be not clearly made evident, then the labor of the effort is a barren one, and the trouble taken amounts to nothing. If, on the contrary, the writer makes his subject understood, then must it be seen by the reader that the mysteries of life are just no mysteries at all; and for a man to understand himself, it needs only that he inquire.

Excerpt from Two Thousand Years After: Or a Talk in a Cemetery
It is undeniably the case that the Positivist in his observations, investigations, and exclusions, is enabled to exhibit Mind as a simple functional expression; and consequently that it is not a something immortal. Hence it is that many, of short sight, conclude it demonstrated that the teachings of the theologians are errors, and that man has no different part or state assigned him than belongs to Matter and Force at large. The author of this little volume, in a hope of being able to show, with simple language and illustrations, how erroneous is such a conclusion, and at the same time to exhibit plainly and fully what is the status of man in creation, has occupied a few of his leisure hours in writing the brochure here presented. That it may accomplish the purpose of its intention in putting to rest many unwise doubts, and in showing how grand is the capability of the human, is a wish not less sincere than are the convictions which go to make up the arguments.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book seeks to answer the question, "Who and what is man?" by exploring the nature of the soul, consciousness, and our place in the universe. The author draws upon a range of philosophical traditions, from ancient Greek philosophy to contemporary materialism, to argue that humans are unique in their capacity for rational thought and moral judgment. This capacity, the author argues, is not reducible to physical matter or brain activity, and it points to the existence of a spiritual or immaterial dimension to human nature. The book also explores the implications of this argument for our understanding of life and death, good and evil, and the meaning of human existence. Through rigorous analysis and thought-provoking insights, this book challenges conventional wisdom and invites readers to rethink their assumptions about the nature of reality and the human experience. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
