Beschreibung

Substance and Shadow or Morality and Religion in their Relation to Life: An Essay upon the Physics of Creation is a philosophical work written by American author Henry James in 1863. The book explores the relationship between morality, religion, and the physical world, discussing how they intersect and influence one another. James argues that while morality and religion are essential to human life, they must be grounded in a scientific understanding of the physical world in order to be fully realized. He examines various philosophical and scientific theories, including those of Immanuel Kant and Charles Darwin, to support his argument. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of the topic, and includes extensive footnotes and references to other works. Overall, Substance and Shadow is a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of existence and the role of morality and religion in shaping our lives.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Autor

Henry James was an American-British author, born on April 15, 1843, in New York City, and he passed away on February 28, 1916, in Chelsea, London, at the age of 72. He is considered a key transitional figure between literary realism and modernism, contributing significantly to the development of modern English literature. His works often explore themes of consciousness, morality, and the complexities of human relationships. James was influenced by prominent authors like Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, and Edgar Allan Poe, which helped shape his unique narrative style. He had a diverse and intellectual family background; his brother, William James, was a famous philosopher and psychologist, while his siblings Alice, Garth, and Robertson also made notable contributions in various fields. James was educated at Harvard University and briefly attended Harvard Law School, but he ultimately pursued a career in writing. His deep exploration of psychological complexity and narrative innovation has earned him widespread recognition as one of the greatest novelists in the English language.
