But the greatest part of mankind float between vice and virtue.\" --David Hume\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe essay, \u003cem\u003eOf the Immortality of the Soul\u003c\/em\u003e, was originally planned for publication in a 1755 collection called \u003cem\u003eFive Dissertations\u003c\/em\u003e. However, philosopher David Hume decided to withdraw this and another essay (\u003cem\u003eOf Suicide\u003c\/em\u003e). Both these essays were published anonymously and posthumously in 1777. The current edition follows the 1755 version.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this essay, Hume presents many arguments against considerations of an afterlife. He offers them under three broad headings, metaphysical, moral, and physical. \u003cem\u003eOf the Immortality of the Soul\u003c\/em\u003e is one of Hume's shortest essays, but with enduring value for modern-day philosophers and other readers interested in Western philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Hume\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1646790383\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781646790388\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cosimo Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/29\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 18\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.04d","brand":"David Hume","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43943186366719,"sku":"9781646790388","price":5.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_f6649a92-6215-4e83-ba43-37b6a21a0035.jpg?v=1681496703","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/of-the-immortality-of-the-david-hume-9781646790388","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
