SARALEGUI, MIGUEL. THE IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL: HISTORY OF A POLITICAL ARGUMENT. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2014, vol.63, n.155, pp.85-106. ISSN 0120-0062. https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v63n155.34744.
The paper examines a fundamental and little studied issue of political theology: the relationship between the defense of the immortality of the soul and the preservation of public order. It carries out a historical survey of authors such as Pietro Pomponazzi and Thomas More, who resort to political reasons in order to defend it, and David Hume, who feels that there are no political grounds to support such a relationship. Finally, the article analyzes the arguments proposed to show that its efficacy is conditioned by the historical situation.
