Immortality has held a profound significance in ancient philosophical contemplations on the soul, happiness, value, and divinity. The concept of immortality permeated philosophical ethics and theology, and contemporary reinterpretations of ancient thought in these domains often hinge on the interpretation of immortality. This comprehensive volume brings together original research on immortality from the early Greek philosophical traditions, including the Pythagoreans and Empedocles, to Augustine. The contributors explore not only arguments regarding the soul's immortality but also the diverse and often intricate accounts of what immortality entails, both in Plato and in lesser-known philosophers such as the early Stoics and Philo of Alexandria. This book will captivate scholars and advanced students with a deep interest in immortality and divinity in ancient philosophy.
