Hello Dr. Tomkins, Family, and others,

Here is a podcast from my Religion and Culture in the Ancient World summer class.

Week 4 Death and Afterlife- Personhood & the Soul in the Ancient World 

Family: Tell me if you like it and I can possibly do a podcast on Indian conceptions of the soul at some point.

Overview:

I’ll be talking about the Conceptions of Soul in the Ancient World by the Mesopotamians, the Egyptians, and the very complex conceptions probably due to the Renaissance rediscovery, translation, and distribution of these philosophical texts, the various conception and developments of the conceptions of the soul from the Ancient Greeks to the Ancient Romans.
