The Three Questions: What Am I? Whence Came I? Whither Do I Go? (1850)

By William Haig Miller

Book Overview

""The Three Questions: What Am I? Whence Came I? Whither Do I Go?"" is a philosophical work written by William Haig Miller and first published in 1850. The book explores three fundamental questions that have puzzled humans throughout history: the nature of identity, the origin of existence, and the destination of life. Miller presents various perspectives and theories from ancient and modern philosophers, theologians, and scientists, including Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Kant, Hegel, Darwin, and Spencer. He also incorporates his own reflections and observations, drawing from his extensive knowledge of literature, art, and religion. The book is divided into three parts, each corresponding to one of the three questions. In the first part, Miller examines the concept of self-awareness and consciousness, arguing that the human mind is both a product and a source of reality. In the second part, he delves into the origins of life and the universe, exploring the theories of creationism, evolution, and cosmology. In the third part, he contemplates the meaning and purpose of human existence, discussing the concepts of morality, spirituality, and immortality. Throughout the book, Miller emphasizes the importance of critical thinking, open-mindedness, and intellectual curiosity in the pursuit of truth and wisdom. ""The Three Questions"" is a thought-provoking and insightful work that offers a comprehensive overview of some of the most profound and enduring questions of human existence.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
