Abstract

ABAD T, ALFREDO A. Nicolás Gómez Dávila and the Gnostic Roots of Modernity. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2010, vol.59, n.142, pp.131-140. ISSN 0120-0062.

In his Escolios, Nicolás Gómez Dávila presents the relation between the ancient gnostic notions and the enlightment pretensions of Modernity. By determining the foundations of gnosticism in a knowledge that rises above faith, he locates analogous features in modern thought. Focused in his critique of Modernity, rejects enlightment pretensions as well as the optimistic image of the autonomy of humankind.

Keywords : N. Gómez Dávila; gnosticisms; modernity.
