Excerpt from The Gnostics: And Their Remains, Ancient and Medæval
Critique du Gnosticisme but thenceforward I have carried on my investigations according to a theory, in my conviction the only true one, which, although he once alludes approvingly to it, he has entirely neglected to follow out to its necessary consequences. Restricting himself to describing in his lucid and elegant style, the speculations of the respective beresi archs, and going no further back than the Zend-avesta and the Kabala for the store-houses whence they borrowed their mystic principles, he em in representing all their systems as novel, and the pure compositions of the teachers themselves.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of Gnosticism, a collection of religious and philosophical movements that emerged in the early centuries of the Christian era. The author explores the diverse beliefs and practices of Gnostic sects, tracing their origins to a blend of Eastern and Western thought, including Persian Zoroastrianism, Jewish mysticism, and early Christian ideas. Readers will embark on a journey through the intellectual landscape of the Roman Empire, encountering figures like Simon Magus, Valentinus, and Manes, each with their unique interpretations of the divine and the human condition. The book examines the Gnostic concept of the demiurge, a lesser deity responsible for the material world, and the quest for gnosis, a higher knowledge that leads to spiritual liberation. The author delves into the intricate symbolism and cosmology of Gnosticism, shedding light on the role of emanations, aeons, and the divine feminine principle, Sophia. The book also explores the Gnostic view of the soul's journey and the ultimate goal of escaping the material realm. By illuminating the complex and often misunderstood world of Gnosticism, this book offers valuable insights into the diversity of religious thought in antiquity and its enduring legacy in Western culture.
