Animal Futurity: A Plea For The Immortality Of The Brutes (1877) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781104016166)

Animal Futurity: A Plea For The Immortality Of The Brutes is a philosophical treatise written by Joseph Hamilton in 1877. The book argues for the immortality of animals, challenging the prevailing belief that only humans possess an immortal soul. Hamilton contends that animals, like humans, possess consciousness and emotions, and therefore deserve to be considered as beings with a future beyond death. He draws on scientific and religious arguments to support his claim, citing evidence of animal intelligence, emotional attachment, and moral behavior. The book also explores the ethical implications of denying animals an afterlife, and the potential impact on human attitudes towards animal welfare. Overall, Animal Futurity is a thought-provoking work that challenges traditional beliefs about the nature of life and death, and raises important questions about our relationship with the animal kingdom.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
