“Conhece-te a ti mesmo” e a gnose helenística: Sócrates e o Herege Gnóstico (um contraponto) | Minicurso on-line

Gnosis é uma das palavras gregas para dizer “conhecimento”, mas não a única (há também episteme). Encontramo-la na máxima délfica que se tornaria o lema socrático por excelência: “Conhece-te a ti mesmo”, Gnôthi seauton em grego. A gnose, na acepção específica que nos interessa aqui (religião e heresia gnóstica, gnose helenística, gnosticismo cristão), tem em…

“Gnostic Pneumatherapy” – Joseph LANCASTER / “Gnosticism as Negative Psychology” – Peter SLOTERDIJK

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xacTnd8xsw Dr. Joseph Lancaster joins Finding Hermes to discuss his Gnostic approach to psychic wellness. His work draws from ancient and modern Gnosticism, from the Sophianic myth to the insights of CG Jung and Stephan Hoeller.

“The Faith of Puppets” – John GRAY

Going far back into the ancient world, recurring in cultures widely separated in space and time, surfacing in religion, philosophy and the occult, exercising a powerful influence in modern science and politics, Gnosticism has coexisted and competed with, secreted itself within and hidden itself from many other ways of thinking. There have been Gnostic strands…

“The Revelation of Philip K. Dick” – John GRAY

It would be hard to find a more striking statement of a Gnostic world-view than this: Behind the counterfeit universe lies God … It is not a man who is estranged from God; it is God who is estranged from God. He evidently willed it this way at the beginning, and has never since sought…

“The Evil Creator and The Sethians” – David LITWA

The idea of a deficient Demiurge was widespread in early Christian times. Why? Between a literal reading of the Hebrew Bible and pagan polemics, the moral and authoritative standing of the creator was fiercely questioned. From Egyptian priests to Gnostic sects, from Paul to Marcion, we read the ancient Yelp reviews of Yahweh. As a…

“Gnosticism as negative psychology” – Peter SLOTERDIJK

As a critique of…
