The Idea Of Preexistence

By Lafcadio Hern

Book Overview

""The Idea of Preexistence"" by Lafcadio Hern is a philosophical exploration of the concept of preexistence, which refers to the idea that the soul or spirit existed before birth and will continue to exist after death. The book delves into various religious and philosophical traditions that have embraced this idea, including Platonism, Gnosticism, and Hinduism. Hern examines the implications of preexistence for human identity, morality, and destiny, and argues that this concept can offer a valuable perspective on the nature of the self and the purpose of life. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both scholars and general readers interested in exploring the concept of preexistence.THIS 42 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Kokoro: Hints and Echoes of Japanese Inner Life, by Lafcadio Hern.
