Posthumous Humanity Or a Study of Phantoms is a book written by Adolphe D'Assier. The book is a study of the phenomenon of phantoms and ghosts, and explores the idea that these apparitions may be evidence of the survival of the human soul after death. D'Assier examines various cases of ghost sightings and paranormal experiences, and draws on scientific and philosophical theories to explain these phenomena. The book also delves into the history of ghost stories and beliefs about the afterlife, and includes a discussion of spiritualism and mediumship. Overall, Posthumous Humanity Or a Study of Phantoms offers a fascinating look at the enduring mystery of ghosts and the possibility of life after death.1887. The author sought to discover whether there may not be in living nature some unfamiliar principle which may act as an active and independent force after death wherein a mysterious agent reveals itself of the most peculiar and varied nature. He found this principle not only in man, but in the higher species of the zoological scale so that posthumous humanity is but a special example of posthumous animality and that this latter presents itself as the immediate consequence of the living world. An appendix showing the popular beliefs current in India respecting the post-mortem vicissitudes of the human entity is also found within.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
