Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Some Problems of Existence
Each human personality lives hedged in between the two mysteries of the past and the future, the whence and the whither. If this personality is but a passing manifestation of physical energy between a sleep and a sleep, neither the one mystery nor the other is of any importance to us. If, again, it is a special creation, something which is called out of nothing at birth, and launched on a mission of eternity, we need only be concerned for its future. But if it is imperishable, or at least contains some imperishable element, then it must needs have a history as well as a destiny, a past as well as a hereafter.
