| 520 | _a"Is Life Worth Living Without Immortality?" by M. M. Mangasarian is a philosophical lecture presented before the Independent Religious Society in Chicago, likely written in the early 20th century. This thought-provoking work discusses the significance of immortality in giving life meaning and value. It explores existential questions regarding happiness, health, and the human condition through a rationalist lens. In this lecture, Mangasarian critically engages with the arguments of the renowned psychologist William James and argues against the necessity of a belief in immortality for a fulfilling life. He contends that the quest for truth and the appreciation of our current existence—regardless of a promised afterlife—are vital to human happiness and moral integrity. By referencing various philosophical positions, religious doctrines, and societal norms, he emphasizes the importance of fostering a sound mind and healthy body as the antidote for despair rather than relying on supernatural beliefs. Ultimately, Mangasarian promotes a life lived in pursuit of truth, encouraging individuals to seek meaning and joy in the present moment, independent of their views on immortality.
