Includes bibliographical references and indexes.

"A classicist, philosopher, and poet, Poul Martin M�ller was an important figure in the Danish Golden Age. The traumatic event of the death of his wife led him to think more profoundly about the question of the immortality of the soul. In 1837 he published his most important philosophical treatise, "Thoughts on the Possibility of Proofs of Human Immortality," presented here in English for the first time. It was read and commented upon by the leading figures of the Golden Age, such as S�ren Kierkegaard. It proved to be the last important work that M�ller wrote before his death in March of 1838 at the age of 43"-- Provided by publisher.

Translated from the Danish.
