Abstract:
The paper deals with the peculiarities of the interpretation of the problem of immortality in the English-language science fiction literature of the late 20th - 21st centuries. On the example of the works of R. Sawyer, P. Watts, G. Egan, N. Stevenson, V. Vinge, the author analyzes various ways of considering anthropological aspects of the problem of immortality in science fiction, related to the rethinking of the goals and meaning of existence in the case of the implementation of a transhumanist project to extend the human life. The author concludes that in modern science fiction the theme of

The short treatise remains only in manuscript and is rarely mentioned by scholars dealing with the history of the problem of immortal­ity; however, it is a witness to the considerable popularity of the issue during the Renaissance.

Abstract:
William Shakespeare’s 154 Sonnets contribute a great deal to art and literature. As a world-class master, he lives in the English Renaissance period, which is marked by a cultural flowering. Humanism is the essence of the Renaissance. It dramatically affects Shakespeare’s works. In the sonnets, he reinforces his affirmation of human wisdom and knowledge of creating magnificent literature, thus bringing about the immortality of youth and beauty, which is an acute reflection of his humanistic thought of the Renaissance. This paper takes the humanism of the Renaissance as its concept. Then, this

Abstract:
The prospect of human immortality is manifest in many of Plato's writings, appearing as early as the Apology (28c, 41c–d) and the Crito (54b–d), and as late as Book 12 of the Laws (967d). But nowhere is immortality given so much attention, nor as central a place in Plato's philosophical projects, as in what have traditionally been referred to as his Middle Period works, so it is hardly surprising that we find an extensive treatment of the subject of immortality in Socrates’ own encomium in the Symposium (206e–209e). Eros, Socrates tells us, is not merely a desire to possess the good, but one t

Abstract:
This thesis takes as its starting point current views on the relationship between man and god in Archaic and Classical Greek literature, according to which mortality and immortality are primarily temporal concepts and, therefore, mutually exclusive. This thesis aims to show that this mutual exclusivity between mortality and immortality is emphasised only in certain poetic genres, while others, namely those centred on extraordinary achievements or exceptional moments in the life of a mortal, can reduce the temporal notion of immortality and emphasise instead the happiness, success, and undistur

Abstract:
This thesis presents a simultaneous academic and creative engagement with a specific set of mythemes that relate to immortality, both within and beyond William Shakespeare's play, 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. As specific archetypal elements, these mythemes — the forest, the lovers, the immortals, the knave, and the child — reflect the human preoccupation with immortality in various ways. As Shakespeare’s only play where immortal characters repeatedly differentiate themselves from mortals, 'Dream' provides an ideal touchstone for investigating how these mythemes characterize interactive presenc

The claim in this essay is that an immortal life is not a desirable life and that it traps you in a paradoxical existence that cannot be desirable.

Abstract:
The aim of this work is to examine how physical and mental metamorphoses affect the perception of the self. To do this I study the literary characters Apollo (The Hidden Oracle, by Rick Riordan) and Edward Cullen (Midnight Sun, by Stephenie Meyer), both of whom experience these different kinds of metamorphoses. I approach this problem with the help of philosophy of mind and, more specifically, the mind-body problem as well as the problem of personal identity. Amongst other things, I find that the physical metamorphoses are what enable and initiate the mental ones. I also discover that one of t

Abstract:
AbstractThe fantasy of never running out of breath has long been alluring. But in the nineteenth century, the idea acquired a distinctive form of material reality. The pipe organ, existing at least from the ancient Greeks, has often been described as figuratively having lungs. But with the adoption of water/gas then electric-powered organ blowers in the nineteenth century, the organ, theoretically, could provide that which nothing else could: breath that could go on for ever. This essay explores two forms of poetic and narrative reflection on the new powers of the organ’s lungs. First, it considers writing that responded to the apparent instrument of endless breath by reinforcing the organ’s association with the eternal. Second, the essay examines writers who thought precisely the opposite and who acknowledged that, if new organ blowing technology implied unexpendable breathing, the reality—amid failed turbines, broken wind supplies, and insufficient power—reminded the listener of the grave.

The chapter briefly introduces the main mantra of the texts and offers connections to a wider body of Sanskrit literature. It also introduces the main questions of the work: What do the Netra and Svacchanda Tantras mean by immortality? How does one attain it? How do the rites described within the text alleviate illness? What role does the deity play in the reduction of illness and attainment of immortality? What does that deity look like? Who has access to these rites?

Abstract:
Chapter 3 focuses on devotion: the god Śiva or Bhairava as manifested in the forms of Amṛteśa and Mṛtyujit. It locates the deity in the wider corpus of Sanskrit literature. It first situates Śiva as outside of Vedic orthodoxy instead of living and worshipping in the charnel ground. This associates the deity with death and the ability to overcome it. The chapter then examines references to Mṛtyujit and the conquering or cheating of death within the Purāṇas. Again returning to the Netra Tantra, the chapter then translates sections of text that describe the physical forms of Amṛteśa and Mṛtyujit. The practice of worshipping Amṛteśa in the guise of other Brahminical deities allows the practitioner to use the mantra while simultaneously adhering to calendrical rites and festivals that center on those other deities.
