Gr.-8°, Brosch. X, 431 S.; mit 23 s/w-Abb. Neuwertiges Ex. / Fine Copy // Dieser Sammelband vereint Beiträge aus verschiedenen Disziplinen (von den Altertumswissenschaften bis zur Psychologie), die sich mit kulturübergreifend wiederkehrenden Vorstellungen vom menschlichen Körper und universalen Aspekten von Weltbildern auseinandersetzen. Im Zentrum der Fallstudien stehen Wissenstraditionen verschiedener Kontinente und Epochen von der Antike bis in die Gegenwart, die sich um den lebenden und toten Körper sowie um den Kosmos ranken. Die Beiträge des Bandes machen evident, wie eng verflochten Vorstellungen von Mensch und Kosmos sind, wie körperbasierte Erfahrungen diese Konzepte prägen, und wie verschiedene Faktoren zur Universalität als auch Vielfalt solcher Konzepte beitragen.

Hardback. Condition: New. To understand Empedocles' thought, one must view his work as a unified whole of religion and physics. Only a few interpreters, however, recognise rebirth as a positive doctrine within Empedocles' physics and attempt to reconcile its details with the cosmological account. This study shows how rebirth underlies Empedocles' cosmic system, being a structuring principle of his physics. It reconstructs the proem to his physical poem and then shows that claims to disembodied existence, individual identity and personal survival of death(s) prove central to his physics; that knowledge of the cosmos is the path to escape rebirth; that purifications are essential to comprehending the world and changing one's being, and that the cosmic cycle, with its ethical import, is the ideal backdrop for Empedocles' doctrine of rebirth.
