Metempsychosis
 | This article's factual accuracy is disputed. (August 2022) |
In philosophy, metempsychosis (Ancient Greek: μετεμψύχωσις) is the transmigration of the soul, especially its reincarnation after death. The term is derived from ancient Greek philosophy, and has been recontextualized by modern philosophers such as Arthur Schopenhauer,[1] Kurt Gödel,[2] Mircea Eliade,[3] and Magdalena Villaba;[4] otherwise, the word "transmigration" is more appropriate. The word plays a prominent role in James Joyce's Ulysses and is also associated with Nietzsche.[5] Another term sometimes used synonymously is palingenesis.
