Discover how life unfolds from the senses to the mind, and what that means for your future.
This volume traces a life arc that begins in the body and climbs into thought, faith, and the promise of eternity. It argues that the senses form the first stage of human existence, shaping habit, perception, and experience, while the intellect grows to guide, enrich, and ultimately transcend those early powers. Along the way, it explores how memory, knowledge, and virtue sustain us through aging and change, leading to a hopeful vision of progress beyond death.
Structured as a rising series of chapters, the work invites readers to see life as a continuous ascent: from physical sensation to social life, from the intellect to religion, and finally to eternity. It presents a positive, progressive view of human development and the enduring power of the mind to illuminate both present and future existence.
- Understand how life begins in the senses and how mind and spirit gradually gain primacy.
- Explore how memory, learning, and virtue shape later life and provide inner strength.
- Consider the enduring influence of thought, science, and imagination across generations.
- Envision an ongoing progress that culminates in holiness and happiness beyond death.
Ideal for readers who seek a clear, uplifting framework for personal growth, philosophy of life, and spiritual perspective.

Other policies
Please note that we cannot accept cancellation requests once an order has been placed.
All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
Please also make sure your address is correct before ordering as we will no be able to intervene and make changes before the book is shipped.
We can provide digital samples for all our print books ahead, so don't hesitate to reach out.

If you’re returning for another reason, however, please consider whether you could donate or gift the book instead so that it avoids the waste pile.
