Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from King's College Lectures on Immortality
Howison, still hold that a valid metaphysical argument can be stated.
The hope of personal immortality is so closely bound up with our affections that it lends itself to credulity and superstition. On the other hand, there are minds which, in reaction from the illegitimate indulgence of the will to believe, have persuaded themselves that the belief in personal survival is no part of pure religion. It is the aim of these lectures to assist in showing that faith in the future life is a rational faith and may be held all the more strongly when purged of some of the fancies which fear and hope have woven round it.
