Does our close relationship with the sentient beings who give us so much emotional and physical comfort indicate they have immortal souls? Preece (emeritus, Wilfrid Laurier U.) goes far beyond this simple question in his collection of debates, subtitled Joseph Hamilton's Animal Futurity (1877) Together with the Debate among Karkeek, Spooner, and Manthorp on "The Future Existence of the Brute Creation" in The Veterinarian 1839-1840. The issue is charged not only because human deliberation over animal immortality is also human deliberation about human immortality, but also because claiming strictly human immortality is a type of chauvinism that extends to deny non-human animals the respect they deserve. In the series of debates and Hamilton's text reprinted here, both sides skate along the edge of philosophy and theology while making points in the good old eclectic Victorian way with citations from a range of disciplines.
