Abstract:
Through learning philosophy,human beings can overcome the fear of death and gain the wisdom of life.With the rapid development of modem high-tech,some people advocate to pursue the immortality of individual life using science and technology.This is the most restless thoughts,originating from the false belief of dogmatic rationalism:with the development of science and technology,human beings are possible to fully grasp the mysteries of the nature (including human body).In fact,nature as well as human body is always hidden in infinite mystery.The pursuit of immortality is from the pursuit of meaning.Setting up morality,making contribution,and achieving glory by writing are the legitimate ways for human beings to pursuit immortality as cultural animals.One just can pursue immortality in the cultural sense,but cannot pursue the immortality of individual life.
