J.M.E. McTaggart seeks to critically expound and appraise the
British philosopher's thought with respect to three principal
themes of his philosophy: substance, self, and immortality. Ramesh
Kumar Sharma guides the reader through the labyrinths of
McTaggart's intricate arguments and defends many of McTaggart's
highly unorthodox doctrines and conclusions. While doing this,
Sharma draws on the works of, among others, Berkeley, Hegel, and
Leibniz, and at the same time attacks numerous modern-day
physicalist theories that propound mind-brain identity as against
the presumed reality of the self and consciousness. This work is
thus recommended both for philosophers and researchers interested
in: (1) such perennial metaphysical subjects as reality, existence,
possibility, the basic ontological categories of substance,
qualities, and relations (universals); (2) the question of the
reality of the self; (3) McTaggart's overall vision of the universe
or Absolute, and his rejection of the more or less predominant view
that the Absolute is God; (4) McTaggart's unique doctrine, after
Plato, of the immortality of the self combined with (the self 's)
pre-existence, post-existence, and plurality of lives; and (5) his
extraordinary, but important, views on perception.
