Publisher's Synopsis
A Treatise Concerning Eternal and Immutable Immortality is a philosophical work written by Ralph Cudworth. The book delves into the concept of immortality and explores the idea of eternal and unchanging existence. Cudworth argues that immortality is not just a physical state, but also a spiritual one. He examines various philosophical and religious beliefs about the afterlife and the nature of the soul. The book is divided into four parts, each of which explores a different aspect of immortality. In the first part, Cudworth discusses the concept of eternity and how it relates to immortality. He argues that eternal existence is not just a matter of time, but also a matter of quality. The second part of the book focuses on the nature of the soul and its relationship to immortality. Cudworth examines various philosophical and religious beliefs about the soul, including the idea that it is immortal and the idea that it is mortal. In the third part, Cudworth discusses the relationship between the body and the soul. He argues that the soul is not dependent on the body for its existence, but rather that the body is dependent on the soul. The final part of the book explores the concept of divine immortality. Cudworth argues that God is the source of all immortality and that human immortality is dependent on our relationship with God. Overall, A Treatise Concerning Eternal and Immutable Immortality is a thought-provoking philosophical work that explores the concept of immortality from a variety of perspectives. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the nature of the soul, the afterlife, and the concept of eternity.1731.

It may be reckoned to be a sequel in part of his first book against material fate.
