Reincarnation
Reincarnation is the philosophical or religious concept that the
soul or
spirit, after biological
death, can begin a new life in a new body. This doctrine is a central tenet of the
Hindu religion. The
Buddhist concept of
rebirth is also often referred to as reincarnation, and is a belief that was held by such historic figures as
Pythagoras,
Plato and
Socrates. It is also a common belief of various ancient and modern religions such as
Spiritism,
Theosophy, and
