J.M.E. Mctaggart: Substance, Self, And Immortality

This book seeks to critically expound and appraise British philosopher J.M.E. McTaggart s thought with respect to three principal themes of his philosophy: substance, self, and immortality. Sharma guides the reader through the labyrinths of McTaggart s intricate arguments, and attempts to defend many of McTaggart s highly unorthodox doctrines and conclusions. To do this, Sharma draws on the works of Berkeley, Hegel, and Leibniz, along with numerous modern-day theories which propound mind-brain identity as well as the question of self and its relation to consciousness and self-consciousness. This work is recommended for philosophers interested in perennial metaphysical subjects as reality, existence, possibility, the basic ontological categories of substance, qualities and relations (universals)."
