Download or read book Thoughts on Death and Immortality written by Ludwig Feuerbach and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-07-28 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Never translated before, 'Thoughts on Death and Immortality' was the first published work of Ludwig Feuerbach (1804-1872). The scandal created by portrayal of Christianity as an egoistic and inhumane religion cost the young Hegelian his job and, to some extent, his career. Joining philosophical argument to epigram, lyric, and satire, the work has three central arguments: first, a straightforward denial of the Christian belief in personal immortality; second, a plea for recognition of the inexhaustible quality of the only life we have; and third, a derisive assault on the posturings and hypocrisies of the professional theologians of nineteenth-century Germany.

Excerpt: ... chapter ii egypt, greece, and rome Nam veluti pueri trepidant atque omnia csecis In tenebris metuunt, sic nos in luce timemus Interdum, nilo quae sunt metuenda magis quam Quae pueri in tenebris pavitant finguntuque futura. Lucretius, "De Rerum Natura," lib. ii., 11. 55-58. The Egyptian conception of immortality is probably as old as 4000 B.C., and at least 3000 B.C. The doctrine was combined with most rudimentary ideas of God, and was not wholly consistent with itself. The main idea of the Egyptian was to go on as long as possible; he would have liked to attain the age of no, and he disliked the idea of stopping. His ideas of the hereafter were extremely complicated, but they have been very clearly summarised by Dr. Wiedemann in his book, The Doctrine of Immortality in A ncient Egypt. There are six immortal elements, which are only reunited in the case of the righteous. These are: (1) The Ka, the divine counterpart of the man which corresponds to the memory-image; this could live without the body; but the body could not live without the Ka, and it required feeding. The Ka sometimes visited the mummy, when it was supposed to grow; but it had an independent existence, and did not meet the man again till the last judgment. (2) The Ab, or heart, which was immortal. The heart was removed from the body by thei embalmers, and consequently the mummy had to be given an artificial heart, which was usually a scarab made in hard, greenish stone, fashioned in the image of the beetle, which was the symbol of resurrection. The heart also journeyed from the regions of the other world till it met the dead man in the Hall of Judgment. (3) The Ba was the soul, and is represented as a human-headed bird. It flew to the gods after death, but was supposed to come back to see the mummy...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Belief in Personal Immortality Yet I should never have been so absorbed in the subject but for the pain that it originally cost me to lose, first of all, the belief in personal immortality, and finally even the hope of it. I cannot help feeling that there is a very strong presumption against any kind of survival that implies individual continuity or reunion with those whose presence here diffused incomparable happiness while they still lived. But if such a conviction forces itself upon any of us, surely we had better face it and adjust our philosophy of life - and, indeed, our most practical activities in life - to the conviction. If death has, indeed, any dazzling surprise in store for us, we shall have lost nothing by trying to put human affairs a little more in order without relying on any future settlement of bad balances, after the example of Mr. Micawber; if, on the other hand, death ends our conscious individuality once and for all, a great deal of it will still survive for others, if not for ourselves, so long as we have acted on what we really thought to be true. Character is immeasurably fortified in the ordinary course of life by the elimination of irrational hopes and fears from our motives, and surely the question of belief in the supernatural is no exception to this rule. I have freely used the personal pronoun, as there may be many members of the Rationalist Press Association who disagree with my own views on this question.
