Death and immortality played a central role in Greek and Roman
thought, from Homer and early Greek philosophy to Marcus Aurelius.
In this book A. G. Long explains the significance of death and
immortality in ancient ethics, particularly Plato's dialogues,
Stoicism and Epicureanism; he also shows how philosophical
cosmology and theology caused immortality to be re-imagined.
Ancient arguments and theories are related both to the original
literary and theological contexts and to contemporary debates on
the philosophy of death. The book will be of major interest to
scholars and students working on Greek and Roman philosophy, and to
those wishing to explore ancient precursors of contemporary debates
about death and its outcomes.
