| Sumario: | Summary: This article examines critically the most ancient evidences concerning the Pythagorean doctrine of transmigration. Such testimonies proceed from authors foreign to the Pythagorean Brotherhood and reveal a popular and exoteric perspective acoording to which a soul changes different bodies in the same way as a man changes different clothes. They only can prove the existence of a doctrine of transmigration in ancient Pythagoreanism, but they do not enable us to reconstruct its characteristics. After discussing the rapport of soul-body dualism with metempsychosis, it is considered –on the basis of analogies with some views of Alcmeon and Empedocles- the hypothesis that the subject of transmigration constitutes a trascendental and transempirical self, diverse from the “natural soul” which has psychical attributes and, depending upon the body, diez when it diez. |
