Description

Description

Discover the ancient idea that has shaped our understanding of the self. Our Divine Double explores the concept of a divine counterpart, twin, or alter-ego, and its rise and fall in the Eastern Mediterranean from the second to the third centuries CE. This book examines the intersection of ancient traditions, including early Christianity, Manichaeism, and Neoplatonism, to reveal the self as an irreducible unity-in-duality. The author, Charles Stang, delves into the theological and philosophical implications of encountering one's divine double, and how this idea has influenced Western thought. The book sheds light on the enduring legacy of the divine double in two important areas of late antiquity: theodicy and Christology.
