Man And Immortality

By James George Frazer

Book Overview

""Man and Immortality"" is a philosophical and anthropological exploration of the human desire for eternal life. Written by James George Frazer, a renowned British anthropologist and folklorist, the book delves into the various ways in which different cultures have sought to achieve immortality. Frazer examines religious and spiritual beliefs, mythologies, and rituals from around the world, from ancient civilizations to contemporary societies, to uncover the underlying motivations behind the human quest for immortality. He explores the role of death and the afterlife in shaping human culture and society, and considers the impact of scientific advancements on our understanding of mortality.
