The book critiques various arguments for the immortality of the soul, highlighting their circular reasoning and tautological nature. It dissects teleological, theological, moral, analogical, cosmic, and historical proofs, revealing their reliance on assumptions about moral order and divine intentions. Mauthner emphasizes that these arguments often reflect a misunderstanding of the soul as a divine-like substance, leading to flawed conclusions. His philosophical examination invites readers to question the validity of these widely accepted beliefs about the soul's existence and continuity.
