When it suits him, though, Ronald Hutton is actually capable of demonstrating a little (but even then a highly, or, rather, narrowly, selective) knowledge concerning classical philosophy. He has even discussed the direct influence of Salustius on Gerald Gardner, and in doing so discusses Salustius on reincarnation/metempsychosis. I hope to discuss this soon in a future post.Apuleius Platonicushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11761230673724504084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817911217098974229.post-73639419493161483142011-01-27T12:45:39.942-05:002011-01-27T12:45:39.942-05:00Jewish Kabbalists also introduced the idea of rein...Jewish Kabbalists also introduced the idea of reincarnation (gilgul haneshamot-cycle of souls) into Judaism in the Middle Ages, which, while a minority opinion, is accepted as authoritative in modern Judaism. Given all of the influences of classical philosophy on the development of Kabbalah, it's likely that this Jewish reincarnation has roots in Pythagorean reincarnationKaukohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14177203153515014615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817911217098974229.post-38249530356854430942011-01-27T11:48:26.052-05:002011-01-27T11:48:26.052-05:00The more I read about Hutton, the more I think he ...The more I read about Hutton, the more I think he is a revisionist with an agenda.<br />Have you read this:<br />http://www.sourcememory.net/veleda/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817911217098974229.post-53352664607499989322011-01-27T11:42:20.419-05:002011-01-27T11:42:20.419-05:00Wow, that's some shocking ignorance from a bra...Wow, that's some shocking ignorance from a brand-name scholar.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
