PALINGENESIS

[noun]

a concept of rebirth or re-creation, used in various contexts in philosophy, theology, politics, and biology. Its meaning stems from Greek palin, meaning again, and genesis, meaning birth. In philosophy it denotes in its broadest sense the theory that the human soul does not die with the body but is born again in new incarnations. It is thus the equivalent of metempsychosis - the transmigration of the soul wherein an individual incarnates from one body to another, either human, animal, or plant.
