Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Funeral Discourse
According to some, that, which constitutes us the moral and intellectual beings that we are, is simply the result of our physical organization. It begins, it grows, it suffers with that. And when that perishes, all our powers of thought, lofty as they may be, and all our affections, however strong and beau tiful, vanish utterly and forever. This is what is called Materialism, the material philosophy.
