The Purpose of Existence, written by John Chapman in 1850, is a philosophical treatise that explores the meaning of human existence. The book delves into the origin, development, and destiny of the human mind, and considers the role of religion, science, and philosophy in understanding the purpose of life. Chapman argues that the purpose of existence is to achieve moral and intellectual perfection, and that this can only be accomplished through a combination of reason and faith. He also explores the nature of consciousness, free will, and the relationship between the individual and society. The book is a thought-provoking exploration of some of the most fundamental questions of human existence, and remains relevant today for anyone seeking to understand the meaning of life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
