Publisher's Synopsis
Human Personality and Its Survival of Bodily Death is a book written by Frederic W. H. Myers that explores the concept of the afterlife and the possibility of human consciousness surviving the physical death of the body. The book is divided into two volumes, with Volume 1 focusing on the evidence for survival after death and Volume 2 examining the nature of the afterlife itself. Myers, a prominent member of the Society for Psychical Research, draws on a range of sources to support his argument, including accounts of near-death experiences, mediumship, and spiritualism. He also explores the philosophical and scientific implications of the idea of survival after death, considering questions such as the nature of consciousness, the relationship between mind and body, and the possibility of communication with the dead. Overall, Human Personality and Its Survival of Bodily Death is a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of one of the most enduring mysteries of human existence. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the afterlife, consciousness, and the nature of the self.1903. Other volumes in this set include ISBN number(s): 0766162400. Volume 1 of 2. These works are but a partial presentation of an ever- growing subject on personality and its survival after the body dies. This book is an exposition rather than a proof. What Myers tried to do is to render knowledge more easily gained by coordinating it in a form as clear and intelligible as his own limited skill and the nature of the facts themselves permitted.
