Buddhism and Rebirth, a History

Rebirth has been a Buddhist view for centuries. We'll discuss its origins in ancient Indian thought as well as its commonalities with ideas in the West. We'll also discuss its relation to ideas of time, and how those changed in the West. Finally we'll discuss some more recent ideas about rebirth.
