Philosophy

The Illusion of Immortality is a foundational philosophical book written by American humanist philosopher and civil liberties advocate Corliss Lamont. First published in 1935 (expanding on his 1932 work, Issues of Immortality), the book systematically dismantles the belief in an afterlife, arguing that the literal survival of individual consciousness after death is an illusion. Featuring an introduction by legendary philosopher John Dewey, Lamont explores the medical, scientific, and psychological connections between mind and body, ultimately advocating for a positive, ethical life-affirmation rooted in accepting our shared human mortality.
