The New Immortality (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781432578800)

The New Immortality by J.W. Dunne is a philosophical exploration of the concept of immortality. The author argues that traditional ideas of immortality, such as an afterlife or reincarnation, are outdated and that a new form of immortality is emerging in the modern world. This new form of immortality is based on the idea that our thoughts, ideas, and experiences can live on beyond our physical bodies.Dunne draws on a wide range of sources, including science, religion, and philosophy, to support his argument. He explores the nature of consciousness, the role of technology in shaping our understanding of the self, and the ways in which our thoughts and memories can be preserved and shared with others.The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of traditional ideas of immortality and the limitations of these concepts. The second part explores the emerging concept of a new immortality, including the role of technology and the potential for our thoughts and experiences to be preserved and shared. The third part considers the implications of this new immortality for our understanding of the self and our place in the world.Overall, The New Immortality is a thought-provoking and engaging exploration of a topic that is of great interest to many people. It challenges traditional ideas of immortality and offers a new perspective on the nature of consciousness and the self.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
