| Résumé: | Crisis : gnostic dualism in late modernity -- Eschaton : gnostic evil in history -- Subversion : heresy and its modern afterlives -- Nothingness : dialectics of religious nihilism -- Epoch : the gnostic age -- Theodicy : overcoming gnosticism, embracing the world "This book presents an intellectual history of Gnosticism in postwar German philosophy: Jacob Taubes, Hans Blumenberg, Eric Voegelin, Hans Jonas, Gershom Scholem, and Odo Marquard and their interpretations of the relation between Gnosticism and modernity.
