About the Book

English summary: Confronted with impermanence, mankind has always tried to provide answers: either rejoicing in it like Epicurus, Lucrezia, Nietzsche later, or trying to show that impermanence concerns only the body, and that the soul would not be subjected to death. This book analyzes the ways in which, throughout history, mankind has developed theories to support their hopes of immortality. French description: Telle la race des feuilles, telle celle des hommes. Cette verite enoncee par Homere hante l'humanite. Confrontes a l'impermanence, les hommes, depuis la haute antiquite, ont tente d'apporter des reponses: soit en s'en rejouissant comme Epicure, Lucrece, Nietzsche plus tard, soit en tentant de montrer que l'impermanence ne concerne que le corps, et que l'ame, elle, ne serait pas soumise a la mort. Mais qu'est-ce que l'ame ? De quoi parle-t-on lorsqu'on evoque ce terme ? Ou allait-elle une fois le corps du defunt incinere ou enterre ? Au reste, dans quelle partie du corps se situait-elle ? Etait-elle reellement immortelle ? Etait-elle sujette a la metempsycose ? Et que savaient reellement les anciens Grecs des Enfers ? Erwin Rohde dans un livre magistral, veritable oeuvre d'art, analyse toutes les voies qu'ont inventees les hommes pour valider leurs esperances d'immortalite et les theoriser. Psyche. Le culte de l'ame chez les Grecs et la croyance a l'immortalite a influence de maniere decisive les etudes sur la religion grecque et des generations d'historiens de l'Antiquite comme ceux des religions. Cette enquete litteraire, philosophique et historique, au style elegant, seduira tous ceux qui s'interessent a la societe antique, aux croyances dans l'Audela, quelle que soit leur discipline.
