Lessing: Death in Hellenistic pantheism
Abstract
Through the critique of dualistic metaphysics / life / other life proper to Christianity from Paul of Tarsus, this article aims to demonstrate how Lessing revisits the concept of death in the tradition of Hellenistic pantheism (Bruno, Spinoza, Leibniz ...). Lessingniana theory about the death crystallizes in an anthropology optimistic character that allows for continuous improvement of individuals and mankind as a whole, avoiding the feeling of guilt and fear emanating from the Christian eschatology.
