Birth and Death, as a Change of Form of Perception: Or the Dual Nature of Man (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Birth and Death, as a Change of Form of Perception: Or the Dual Nature of Man
The second title Of this book might, on the contrary, lead some Of my readers astray, because it suggests the idea that it concerns itself with an Old theme, namely, the demonstrating that man is composed Of matter and spirit, or Of body and soul. We have nothing to do with this thankless task, - which I call thankless, because matter and spirit are vague conceptions, capable Of different explanations, about which many prattle foolishly, but nothing sufficiently certain can be conceived Of it, to make an explanation possible. An idea or conception must have a clear tenor and fixed range; failing these qualities, it becomes a formidable source Of error, and quite useless to the thoughtful inquirer.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the questions of birth and death, grappling with the underlying nature of human existence. The author argues that the perception of birth and death as we know it is not the only possible perception and that humans may have a duality to their nature. The author uses examples such as dreams, clairvoyance, and other transcendental phenomena to demonstrate the presence of a transcendental basis to mankind, and uses these examples to craft a theory of human metaphysics. This book is significant in that it attempts to reconcile the concept of transcendental perception with the metaphysics of human existence, expanding on the classic philosophical question of human nature. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330802243_0
