An exploration into Egyptian pre-Socratic literary traditions and philosophy
Autoři
Více o knize
Exploring the origins of Gnosticism, this monograph examines the influence of Egyptian literature and philosophies on its development, challenging prevailing views that emphasize competing Christianities or Jewish heresy. It highlights the philosophical constructs and literary traditions from Egyptian theologies that contributed to Gnostic doctrine. By tracing Hermopolitan theology's evolution from ancient Egypt to its integration into Gnostic and Hermetic thought, the work offers a compelling argument for a different understanding of Gnosticism's genesis in the first century BC.
