摘要：

This essay is an exercise in what might be called Metaphysical Sociology. It suggests that in the secular modern Western world immortality has become the great question mark. It explores possible responses, drawing on a range of fictional examples, including the novel and filmGone with the Windand Nicolas Poussin's painting ofThe Last Supper. It draws a contrast between vitality and ego, on the one hand, and soul, on the other.
