spelling The visionary dimension of Mani's gnosis : manichaean interactions with Platonic Metaphysics and BuddhismA dimensão visionária da gnosis de Mani : interações maniqueístas com a metafísica platônica e o budismoJudaísmoJesus históricoTese (doutorado) — Universidade de Brasília, Instituto de Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Metafísica, 2024.The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the soteriological nature of the concept of gnosis in Manichaeism, in particular its unitary character, which links the visionary and prophetic dimension to ritual practice. To achieve this goal, I will analyze the mediating role of Mani's visions to determine how the apocalyptic dimension of his thought affects his conception of the body. The body is the primary location of Manichaean ritualized meals, which aim to release the particles of Light that have been trapped in matter, according to the Manichaean cosmogonic myth. Subsequently, a historical study will be conducted on the expansion of Manichaeism, including its interactions with Iranian and Indian religions. The study will indicate how a visionary hermeneutic and a cosmological and soteriological concern guided the contacts and conflicts with other religious traditions. Finally, a historical-comparative analysis of Manichaeism with Platonic metaphysics and Buddhism will be made to demonstrate the reasons why Mani's visionary tradition and the eidetic character of Manichaean cosmology flourished in Central Asia while being opposed and rejected in the Roman Empire.Given the comprehension that both YHWH and monotheism come as the result of historical development, this work seeks to trace the history of Jewish monotheism's consolidation and the ways in which it was disputed or pushed to its limits. After synthesising the origins of yahwism and the emergence of monotheistic rhetoric, it proposes that the visionary experiences of the apocalyptic movements worked as a rhetoric of concealment and destabilised the strict unity of God within the emergent monotheism of Second Temple Judaism. In order to understand this rhetorical device in a concrete manner at a specific apocalyptic tradition within Second Temple Judaism it takes the development of Christology within the purview of considerations flowing from historical Jesus research and the possible connection Jesus had with a Two Powers in heaven theology.Instituto de Ciências Humanas (ICH)Programa de Pós-Graduação em MetafísicaCornelli, GabrieleAlmeida, João Paulo Dantas2024-08-05T21:26:15Z2024-08-05T21:26:15Z2024-08-052024-02-23info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/doctoralThesisapplication/pdfALMEIDA, João Paulo Dantas.
