4.9/5 (9533 ratings)

Description:This is a study on the Hermetic literature (namely the philosophical Hermetica) focusing the seventeen treatises of the so-called Corpus Hermeticum and several passages from other Hermetic sources. The first part deals with the problem of ethnic identity to the Hermetics. A long essay about the cultural relations between Greeks and Egyptians from before Alexander to after the Roman conquest is followed by a debate on graeco-egyptian mentality. The second chapter debates the Hermetic literature as a whole, from the background concerning its dramatis personae to how its gnosis was formed, through the comparation between Egyptian traditions and Greek philosophy. This chapter also focuses on three key-concepts: logos, nous and gnosis. The last chapter deals with textual circularity and explores how social groups could overcome this literature in a set for ideological and political disputes. Here Gnostics, pagan philosophers and early Christian fathers are placed as contradictory producers of sense to the Hermetica.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
