Book Details

First Sentence

"The major problem that I investigate in this work is the manner in which the "rebirth eschatologies" of small-scale societies are transformed in two large-scale historical developments: in the "karmic eschatologies" that one associates today with religions such as Buddhism and Hinduism and in the Greek religious traditions that could be broadly defined as "Pythagorean.""
