«Ma'at. Gerechtigkeit und Unsterblichkeit im Alten Ägypten» is Jan Assmann's Egyptology essay, in paperback (327 pages, in German).
Jan Assmann studies Ma'at, the Egyptian notion of truth, justice and cosmic order, and shows how it articulated social life, the pharaoh's power and the relations between gods and humans. The essay also explores Ma'at's link with immortality and the afterlife judgment, as well as the later influence of these ideas.
Second revised and expanded edition with an epilogue; published by C.H.Beck in the Beck'sche Reihe collection (no. 1403).
For readers interested in Egyptology, history of religions and ancient Egyptian thought.
