Abstract:

Abstract This article studies references to Gnosticism in debates regarding gender at the turn of the twentieth century. Analyzing an array of sources, from activists for female empowerment in British Theosophy to continental traditionalist conservatives, the article shows that Gnosticism and ancient Gnostics were referenced to support both female liberation as well as male dominance. It is argued that this was made possible by (1) the polemical and contradictory state of the ancient second-hand sources regarding “Gnostic” views of the nature of male- and femaleness combined (2) with a key com

Abstract:

Abstract In The Rebel (1951) Albert Camus assigns ancient Gnosticism an important place in the history of human revolt. In his interpretation, Gnostics incarnate the spirit of proud rebellion and protest against a God deemed responsible for human suffering and death. For Camus these are the roots of metaphysical rebellion in Western history that, beginning in the eighteenth century, culminated in the fascist and socialist utopian experiments in the twentieth century. After assessing Camus’s view of Gnosticism, this article claims that modern cinema shows the impact of The Rebel on the way seve

Abstract:

O gnosticismo, embora tenha raízes na filosofia grega e em experiências religiosas orientais, irrompeu no seio do cristianismo no século II, dizendo aperfeiçoá-lo e constituir-se na verdadeira Igreja. Ao reler as verdades cristãs desde sua cosmovisão, tornou-se um dos maiores perigos para a fé cristã, constituindo-se numa questão de vida ou morte para o cristianismo. Neste estudo, o autor dá uma visão geral do movimento, privilegiando a compreensão de sua estrutura interna como doutrina filosófico-religiosa.

Abstract:

The article is intended to fill the gap existing today in the study of Gnosticism. Using the available sources and other relevant literature, the author of the article makes an attempt for the first time to reconstruct the religious and philosophical views of Gnostic authors on the idea of redemption. The significance of this idea in the teachings of Gnostics is shown, its specificity is determined. The ideas of redemption are analysed and systematised in the context of ontological, epistemological and anthropological aspects of Gnosticism. Their prerequisites are revealed. A comparison is mad

Abstract:

This article examines the impact of academic discourses on Neo-Gnosticism. The identities and ritual practices of Neo-Gnostics are constructed with reference to Gnostic Studies. Analysis of two case studies (the Apostolic Johannite Church and Jeremy Puma) shows how academic discourse legitimizes, challenges, or reforms Gnostic identity in the twenty-first century.

AbstractThis article discusses the definition of Ophite Gnosticism, its relationship to Sethian Gnosticism, and argues that Eugnostos, Soph. Jes. Chr., Orig. World, Hyp. Arch. and Ap. John not only have important links with each other but also draw essentially on the mythology the heresiologists called that of the Ophites. Before the Nag Hammadi findings, Ophite Gnosticism was often seen as an important and early form of Gnosticism, rooted in Jewish soil, and only secondarily Christianized. Today, not only are similar claims made of Sethian Gnosticism, but also some of the above-mentioned text

Abstract:

AbstractThis article proposes that Jonas’s understanding of gnosticism differs substantially from the account typically associated with him. That standard account takes the basic tenets of existentialism as the foundation to its discussion of alienated individuality, whereas Jonas’s system uses neo-Kantian epistemology to construct both alienation and individuality out of a unified field of human interaction. Within his framework, gnosticism is a single historical-philosophical episode of inauthenticity, highly influential yet isolated in time, unlike the ubiquitous understanding of it. This a

This thesis is a study of the Russian religious philosopher Nikolai Berdiaev (1874-1948). The aim of the thesis is to re-examine the alleged gnostic subtext in Berdiaev’s thought by exploring a number of interrelated motifs in his world outlook, teaching on man and theory of knowledge. The method employed is a close reading of Berdiaev's philosophical and autobiographical writings. In order to establish which motifs should be examined, how they are to be understood and the manner in which they are interconnected, a scrutiny is made of Hans Jonas’s phenomenological elucidation of ancient Gnosti

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the influence of second century Gnosticism (Valentinian Gnosticism) on modern systems of thought. It contends that such an influence does exists and that Gnosticism, although often neglected, is one significant hermeneutical approach to understanding influential modern philosophical and theological cultures such as German Idealism and Sophiology. It attempts to demonstrate these claims by broadly adhering to a Foucauldian archaeological methodology that focuses on the historical development of a particular theological theme: Sophiology.
