Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating exploration of ancient Greek philosophy, particularly its views on the afterlife. The author delves into the beliefs of the major philosophical schools, including the Pythagoreans, Platonists, Stoics, and Epicureans, highlighting their diverse perspectives on the nature of the soul, death, and the possibility of a future existence. The author argues that while many Greek philosophers rejected the traditional notions of an underworld and divine judgment, they nonetheless believed in some form of post-mortem existence, ranging from a state of oblivion to a blissful union with the divine.
