Excerpt from Is the Life of Man Eternal?
To some the View of the writer of this essay that there is no other adequate support for belief that motive and conduct can be intrinsically right or wrong, than faith in the future life, will seem unsound. To others of us, Judge Blades' position seems correct. Ethics is practical or nothing. And practically, how foolishly, the word will largely be: Let us eat and drink for to-morrow we die. The sanction of eternal life is none too much for the support of the ethical appeal. Even in spite of that glorious call, sin holds high and persistent revel and works its awful dooms. How immeasurably worse would be our human case without the larger hope?
The easy criticism that this reduces ethics to sheer commercialism is not valid. Spiritual rewards are not cheap payments of happiness (one of the weakest words in the language) or glory. In the realm of spirit, rewards are in kind. That is: the reward of virtue is more virtue; of character, higher character: good deeds, opportunity to do more of them.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the question of whether human beings possess a soul that lives on after physical death. The author delves into both scientific and philosophical perspectives, providing a comprehensive analysis of the arguments for and against the existence of an afterlife. One of the central themes of the book is the importance of the moral sense as evidence for the existence of a soul. The author argues that the moral sense is a unique and essential part of human nature, and that it cannot be fully explained by purely materialist or physicalist theories. By examining the relationship between the moral sense and the idea of an afterlife, the book offers a fresh and thought-provoking perspective on one of the most fundamental questions that has occupied human thought for centuries. The insights presented in this book are significant because they provide a deeper understanding of the nature of human consciousness, the relationship between mind and body, and the ultimate meaning of our existence. 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. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9780259995364_0
