The idea of reincarnation from a philosophical point of view
Reincarnation is the wearing of a shirt, the shirt of the soul is the body, meaning that reincarnation represents the transfer of the immortal soul from a dead body to another newly born body, as the belief in reincarnation is very old and has spread remarkably.
We find that reincarnation was in the ancient Greek thought, as the main idea was to purify the soul through several births so that the righteous soul would be liberated and return to the divine nature.
As for the Greek thought: the Pythagorean school says that the presence of the soul in the body is a punishment for the soul if it is not good, and the gods can be restored to another body. From her punishment on the part of Plato.
The German philosopher “Schopenhauer” led the idea of reincarnation, which is the transfer of the soul of a human being to another human being and rejected both the Jewish and Christian religions, because they contradict the principle of this past existence in philosophy, but the idea of reincarnation is also present in religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism.
