Summary

"Absurdities of Immaterialism: or, a Reply to T. W. P. Taylder's Pamphlet" by Orson Pratt is a deep exploration of philosophical ideas related to materialism versus immaterialism, structured as a response to criticisms against the beliefs of the Latter-Day Saints. Pratt defends his view that everything, including spirits, is made of matter, directly challenging Taylder's arguments, and dissects the ideas about truth and existence, arguing that truth exists whether or not humans understand it. Pratt builds his case by questioning the logic of immaterial substances and promotes a worldview where all things, even the mind, are fundamentally material.
