Immortality

Iraj Ghanooni gathers classic and contemporary essays, translations, and reflections on death, the soul, and the desire to outlive our finite lives. From Socrates and Simmel to Bergson and modern thinkers, the volume explores how philosophy, literature, and lived experience recast mortality as a condition for meaning rather than its negation. Moving between East and West, these texts ask what, if anything, in us can resist oblivion.
