Resumo: The present essay attempts to show how anti-cosmic dualism, characteristic of most ancient Gnostic systems, has left traumatic marks up to the present day on the relations of the human being with the cosmos and nature. By radically opposing Spirit and Matter, God and the Demiurge, the supremely perfect and “foreign” divine world, to this material and evil world – a “strange” land and “forced exile” in which the Gnostic feels “homeless”; by proposing an antithetical metaphysics based on sola gnosis, we can see in ancient Gnosticism the remote premises which have sickened our culture, marked by the conflictual paradigm in the relationship of man with the world and its creatures, and, thus, have contributed to the degradation of the inhabitant-habitat relationship.

En opposant radicalement l’Esprit et la Matière, Dieu et le Démiurge, monde divin suprêmement parfait et « étranger », à ce monde matériel et mauvais, terre « étrange » et « exil forcé » dans lequel le gnostique se sent « hors de chez lui » ; en proposant une métaphysique antithétique fondée sur la sola gnosis, on ne peut manquer de voir dans la gnose antique les prémisses lointaines qui ont infligé notre culture, marquée par le paradigme conflictuel du rapport de l’homme au monde et à ses créatures, et ont ainsi contribué à la dégradation des rapports de l’habitant à l’habitat.O presente ensaio tenta mostrar como o dualismo anticósmico, característico da maioria dos sistemas gnósticos da Antiguidade, deixou marcas traumáticas até aos nossos dias, nas relações do ser humano com o cosmo e a natureza. Ao contrapor radicalmente Espírito e Matéria, Deus e o Demiurgo, o mundo divino sumamente perfeito e «estrangeiro», a este mundo material e mau, terra «estranha» e «exílio forçado» em que o gnóstico se sente «fora de casa»; ao propor uma metafísica antitética baseada na sola gnosis, não podemos deixar de ver no gnosticismo antigo as premissas remotas que enfermaram a nossa cultura, marcada pelo paradigma conflitual na relação do homem com o mundo e suas criaturas, e, assim contribuíram para a degradação da relação do habitante com o habitat.Universidade Católica Portuguesa2022-05-04T00:00:00Zjournal articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.34632/ephata.2022.10404oai:ojs.revistas.ucp.pt:article/10404Ephata; Vol 4 No 1 (2022): On the subject of the “common home” in integral ecology.
