In Gnosticism metaphysics is transformed into psychopathology and pneumato-pathology. It deems the arrival of the soul in the world to be a catastrophe of alienation; all life in the dazzling direction of the outward path is, in a fundamental sense, “grieving” – which is the effect of separating from the self. As a critique of… Continue lendo “Gnosticism as negative psychology” – Peter SLOTERDIJK

Richard Dawkins exploding at bullshit in the Bible | Truth Seeker
Constant attacks of bullshit made Richard Dawkins lost his cool and created a very awkward moment in the room. One essential voice in the matter is absent from the debate though: Harold Bloom (1930-2019). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTXN5nOstRs
“Twilight of the Gods” – Peter SLOTERDIJK

DURANTE QUASE 2 mil anos a tradição cristã preservou e reverenciou os escritos ortodoxos que denunciavam os gnósticos enquanto reprimiam — e destruíam — os escritos gnósticos. Agora, pela primeira vez, certos textos descobertos em Nag Hammadi revelam o outro lado da moeda: como os gnósticos denunciavam os ortodoxos. O Segundo Tratado do Grande Seth… Continue lendo “Qual é a ‘verdadeira igreja’?” – Elaine PAGELS
