Animal Futurity: A Plea for the Immortality of the Brutes (1877)

Animal Futurity: A Plea For The Immortality Of The Brutes is a philosophical treatise written by Joseph Hamilton in 1877. The book argues for the idea that animals possess an immortal soul and that they should be treated with the same respect and consideration as human beings. Hamilton posits that the existence of an afterlife for animals is a logical extension of the belief in a divine creator and the idea that all living things are part of a greater spiritual whole. He also argues that the denial of animal immortality is a form of speciesism and a reflection of human arrogance and ignorance. The book is a passionate defense of animal rights and a call for a more compassionate and ethical treatment of animals. It is a thought-provoking read that challenges conventional beliefs about the nature of life and the place of animals in the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
