Dr. Augros puts forth the case for the soul in an interesting and very readable format. He has a unique gift for making "high level" philosophical issues accessible to the layperson. In "The Immortal in You", Dr. Augros completely lays waste to the materialism (or "scientism") that we are constantly bombarded with today. His case is airtight- so if you wonder "is this life is all there is?" you will put this book down with renewed hope.Keep writing, Dr. Augros!
The Immortal in You is a rock-solid explanation, exposition, and presentation of natural philosophy. In it, Mr. Augros gives in-depth insights into the problems of having a realistic philosophy in an age dominated by technological advances and modern science. I believe there is something here for everyone, especially those seeking a clearer understanding of those perennial questions about mankind that never seem to grow old. I will definitely be reading this again and recommend it to anyone who is willing to spend a little bit of time thinking deeply about what they read.
No philosopher of the perennial school has answered and refuted the Empiricists and Transcendentalists as Dr. Augros has.
A book demonstrating in as simple language as possible where natural philosophy is coming from and what its logical consequences are. This simplified language makes the book wonderfully readable, but could also (paradoxically) confuse readers with little philosophical grounding and make them conclude hastily it contains some „errorsâ€. The author has done his very best though and I don’t think one can do much better. Hence a five-star rating.
be prepared to think some, as the reasoning takes some effort to digest.also, the author takes his time to get around to his points.
Steve Trevor clutched the book, “The Immortal in You†by philosopher Michael Augros. He had stolen it from Doctor Elizabeth Maru, head of the Chemistry Department at the local university where the philosophy department had invited a speaker to discuss that book. Unfortunately, the university was very politically correct, and Dr. Maru and a group of students were bullying the guest speaker to prevent him from speaking. Steve Trevor watched as the guest speaker gave up and left. “God, what do I do?†Steve said in exasperation.He felt a tap on his shoulder, and there stood a beautiful woman clad in a stunning, shining white dress that seemed to glow. “Wow!†Steve responded. “Who are you?â€â€œI am Sophia, Lady Philosophy, here to aid you.†she replied.“So you know philosophy, huh? Why are the students protesting this book?â€â€œIt’s because it’s true and has powerful arguments that they don’t want to hear.â€â€œWhat arguments?†Steve asked.“That human beings can understand universals, and animals can’t, and since universals aren’t material, then our intellects can’t be material, so we have immaterial souls. And since souls have no parts, they can’t be destroyed, so we have immortal souls. And if we have immortal souls, that implies there is a God, and if there is a God, there is objective right and wrong. Those politically correct students are all moral relativists, and there’s nothing they hate more than someone who claims that morality is objective and real.â€â€œThanks for explaining that, Sophia. But why is Dr. Maru involved in this demonstration? She’s a chemist. Why would she care about a philosophy speaker?â€â€œBecause she believes in political correctness and in scientism, and this book demonstrates that science can’t disprove the existence of God or of a human soul,†Sophia replied.“But why all the fuss about a philosophy book?†Steve asked.“It’s because the main reason people in America are losing faith in God is because the media constantly promotes scientism, which is a false, bogus science, and they denigrate religion, calling it superstition. This book exposes the false claims of scientism, and even worse, gives cogent arguments that man has an immortal soul, and that God created man and the universe. This truly is an important book that needs to be read in order to save America, and the world, from decadence. So I’m here to help. I’m going to cross that quad and go to the lecture hall and talk about this book to the students there.â€â€œSophia, I admire your spirit. But the quad is filled with ranting students. It’s a no man’s land for anyone trying to cross it and promote that book. The mob will tear you apart.â€â€œYou’re right, Steve. No White, Male European can cross it, but I can,†Sophia responded, and then she started walking through the crowd, loudly stating that she would be giving the talk to promote the book. Steven watched in amazement as several members of the crowd threw rocks at her, which she easily batted off with her bracelets, and then easily repulsed those trying to block her way.In the lecture hall, Steve listened to Sophia’s summary of the book, which was clear, cogent, and full of common sense. Steve also noted that the head of the Philosophy Department, Professor Mars, who was the chief atheist, was getting very angry and challenged Sophia to a debate. Sophia accepted, and Mars got on stage with her, and started ranting. Mars claimed that science proves that man there is no God, and man has no soul, and free will is an illusion.“How can you say that?†Sophia asked. “How can you believe such nonsense?†Sophia then calmly and methodically refuted all his statements using logic and common sense, which only enraged Professor Mars even more. They verbally sparred, and it was clear from the audience’s reaction that Sophia was demolishing Professor Mars, at which point he physically attacked her, whereupon Sophia punched Mars’ light out, ending the debate to the cheers of the audience.Walking out of the lecture hall, Steve thanked Sophia for saving the day.“I wish we had more time, Steve, but I’ve got to go now,†Sophia said, handing him Michael Augros’ book. “I hope you’ll read The Immortal in You by Michael Augros. It’s truly an outstanding book on philosophy.â€Steve took the book and read it. And so should you.
Dr. Augros’ book is a modern explanation and defense of an argument first developed by pagan philosophers like Aristotle and later refined by scholastic philosophers such as Thomas Aquinas. The argument is that we human beings have a substantial form which is both incorporeal and indivisible—that is, we have a “soul†which is not itself a body (but is necessarily related to our body because it is a cause of it) and which is not subject to corruption because it has no parts.The argument hinges primarily on our ability to form universal ideas—i.e., the power of our intellect to form universal conceptions of “animalâ€, “triangleâ€, and the like. Dr. Augros contends that while the formation of universal ideas in our intellect necessarily depends upon bodily organs, such as our sense organs and our brain, they cannot possibly be formed in those same organs because then those ideas would necessarily become individualized, and thus, would no longer be universal ideas.The fundamental premise here is that matter individualizes whatever it receives. As soon as we try to represent our universal conception of a triangle on a piece of paper, for instance, then we no longer have a universal idea of a triangle: it will necessarily be of a particular size (and therefore excludes other triangles of other sizes), will necessarily be of a certain color (and therefore excludes other triangles of other colors), will necessarily be of a certain shape (e.g., is equilateral, and therefore excludes other triangles which are scalene or isosceles), etc. But there is clearly some kind of universal idea of a triangle in us which allows to say, in the first place, that all of the different triangles we can potentially draw are in fact triangles (and thus they have something in them which belongs to the essence of a triangle), but that none of them adequately captures in themselves the essence of a triangle, since they exclude other figures we rightfully call triangles. In other words, it is impossible to form a visual image of a universal, whether it be "triangle", "animal", or whatever else. Dr. Augros argues, in a similar way, that the universal ideas which exist in us cannot be formed in a bodily organ because bodily organs are composed of matter, and therefore can only receive particulars (such as the ability of our brain to receive and store images of individual triangles we have seen in our experience), but not universals.To the extent there is going to be a battle over the validity of the argument, modern science (e.g., neuroscience) has no weapons to bring to the fight. To be sure, modern science will show that our brains “light up†when we think (or don’t light up, as the case may be) and will make other similar empirical observations showing that we use our brains to think, but this is entirely consistent with Dr. Augros' premise (and our own experience) that our intellect necessarily depends upon our brain to function. But modern science cannot prove or disprove the argument’s fundamental premises that “anything having dimensions must individualize what it receives†or that “the human intellect does not individualize what it receivesâ€. That battle has to be fought on the grounds of natural philosophy, and philosophers have in fact taken up the challenge. David Hume and John Locke, for example, have denied we form universal conceptions in the sense described here, and have argued instead that we merely have collections or sets of similar objects which we label universals. Dr. Augros addresses those kinds of objections on pages 70 and 71.Because the argument about the immortality of the soul is grounded in principles of natural philosophy, the latter part of the book includes a refutation of scientism, the idea that any substantial and trustworthy knowledge about human nature must be the product of specialized empirical research. Scientism is itself a philosophical claim which modern science is unable to prove, since modern science is, in principle, incapable of demonstrating through empirical studies that modern science is the only valid form of knowledge. Dr. Augros contends that modern science and natural philosophy are two complementary and necessary but separate fields of knowledge, both of which we need to understand human nature.The book is written in an accessible style which is mostly free of philosophical jargon. But even those with a background in philosophy will find many new insights. The philosophical claim that we have an incorporeal and incorruptible nature has been around for more than two millenia and is, if nothing else, highly fascinating. And who knows. You may even find the argument convincing.
