Immortality was central to ancient philosophical reflections on the
soul, happiness, value and divinity. Conceptions of immortality
flowed into philosophical ethics and theology, and modern
reconstructions of ancient thought in these areas sometimes turn on
the interpretation of immortality. This volume brings together
original research on immortality from early Greek philosophy, such
as the Pythagoreans and Empedocles, to Augustine. The contributors
consider not only arguments concerning the soul's immortality, but
also the diverse and often subtle accounts of what immortality is,
both in Plato and in less familiar philosophers, such as the early
Stoics and Philo of Alexandria. The book will be of interest to all
those interested in immortality and divinity in ancient philosophy,
particularly scholars and advanced students.
