This paper considers three accounts of the relationship between personal immortality and materialism. In particular, the pagan mortalism of the Epicureans is compared with the Christian mortalism of Thomas Hobbes and John Locke. It is argued 1) that there are significant similarities between these views, 2) that Locke and Hobbes were, to some extent, influenced by the Epicureans, and 3) that the relation between (im)mortality and (im)materialism is not as straightforward as is commonly supposed.

The article deals with the issues surrounding the creation of humanity and its aspirations to immortality. The two issues are treated with great piety in mythology, literature and strictly religious works. One can even recognize that they are a kind of leitmotif of local issues related to the human condition. While creation tries to arrange man as a tool in the hands of the gods, so man in his quest for the immortality tries to achieve divine status. This widely recognized theory, especially concerning the creation of man, has a number of exemptions, which the author presents step-by-step in Sumerian and Akkadian literature. In Mesopotamian mythology anthropological threads intermingle with the philosophical, all this in order to find a satisfactory answer to the most important questions about man and his relationship with the divine.

La dimostrazione dell'idoneita della came all'esistenza incorruttibile ed eterna costituisce uno dei cardini della difesa del dogma della risurrezione tradizionalmente inteso. L’obiettivo dell'articolo (II corpo umano e l’immortalita) e di presentare l’argomentazione svolta in favore di essa da Metodio di Olimpo nel De resurrectione II 19-25 (GCS 27, 371-382). L’autore rievoca alcuni esempi presi dal mondo della natura (botanico, zoologico, astronomico), dal campo artistico e dalia storia biblica non solo per ilłustrare la possibile longevita dei corpi nell'esistenza terrena, ma anche per provare che Dio, plasmatore del corpo, ha destinato l’uomo all'immortalita. Applicare il principio dell'onnipotenza divina alla risurrezione della carne non costituisce per Metodio una scappatoia insensata, ma un tentativo di assumere, entro i confini di una razionalita alimentata dai dati della fede cristiana, un elemento che, seppur comprensibile per la ragione, tuttavia la supera.
