Title: The will to believe
Subtitle: and other essays in popular philosophy
First published: 1897
Description: This volume contains the complete texts of two books by America's most important psychologust and philospher. Easy to understand, yet, brilliant and penetrating, the books were written specifically for laymen and they are still stimulating reading for readers concerned with important questions of belief in an age of science. Human Immorality: Two supposed Objections to the Doctrine, reprinted here from the corrected second edition, examines the questions of survival after death, and provides an unusual philosophical rebuttal to the theory that thought and personality necesscarily die with the brain.
Subjects: Belief and doubt, Philosophy, Immortality, Spiritualism and psychical research, Belief, Rationalism and free thought, Experience (Religion), Pragmatism, Theism, Free will and determinism, Religion, Psychology, Culture, Essays
People: Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831)
