{"author":null,"backreferences":[{"context_html":"<p class=\"c006\">Seeing, however, that Celsus alleges that “Christians are\r\nwon over by us through vain hopes,” we thus reply to him\r\nwhen he finds fault with our doctrine of the blessed life, and\r\nof communion with God: “As for you, good sir, they also are\r\nwon over by vain hopes who have accepted the doctrine of\r\nPythagoras and Plato regarding the soul, that it is its nature\r\nto ascend to the vault<a id=\"r470\"></a><a class=\"c008 pginternal\" href=\"#f470\"><sup>[470]</sup></a> of heaven, and in the super-celestial\r\nspace to behold the sights which are seen by the blessed spectators\r\nabove.” According to you, O Celsus, they also who have\r\naccepted the doctrine of the duration of the soul [after death],\r\nand who lead a life through which they become heroes, and\r\nmake their abodes with the gods, are won over by vain hopes.\r\nProbably also they who are persuaded that the soul comes\r\n[into the body] from without, and that it will be withdrawn\r\nfrom the power of death,<a id=\"r471\"></a><a class=\"c008 pginternal\" href=\"#f471\"><sup>[471]</sup></a> would be said by Celsus to be won\r\nover by empty hopes. Let him then come forth to the contest,\r\nno longer concealing the sect to which he belongs, but\r\nconfessing himself to be an Epicurean, and let him meet the\r\narguments, which are not lightly advanced among Greeks and\r\nbarbarians, regarding the immortality of the soul, or its duration\r\n[after death], or the immortality of the thinking principle;<a id=\"r472\"></a><a class=\"c008 pginternal\" href=\"#f472\"><sup>[472]</sup></a>\r\nand let him prove that these are words which deceive with\r\nempty hopes those who give their assent to them; but that the\r\nadherents of his philosophical system are pure from empty\r\nhopes, and that they indeed lead to hopes of good, or—what is\r\nmore in keeping with his opinions—give birth to no hope at\r\nall, on account of the immediate and complete destruction of\r\nthe soul [after death]. Unless, perhaps, Celsus and the Epicureans\r\nwill deny that it is a vain hope which they entertain\r\nregarding <i>their</i> end,—pleasure,—which, according to them, is\r\n<span class=\"pageno\" id=\"Page_159\">159</span>the supreme good, and which consists in the permanent health\r\nof the body, and the hope regarding it which is entertained by\r\nEpicurus.<a id=\"r473\"></a><a class=\"c008 pginternal\" href=\"#f473\"><sup>[473]</sup></a></p>","headings":["The writings of Origen, Vol. 2 of 2","BOOK III.","Chapter LXXX."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg70693-paragraph-218"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"c60ffc40df02d77bb75339dec024c10ddd1f37580a614531fc0b9a4304003029","edition_title":"The writings of Origen, Vol. 2 (of 2)","edition_translators":["Frederick Crombie","W.
