Isi artikel

Early Gnosticism is identified as a form of Weber’s inner-worldly mysticism that, following the critique of Plotinus, entailed spiritual metapathologies of inflated grandiosity, despair, and/or social withdrawal. These vulnerabilities re-emerge in the naturalistic psychologies of spirituality begun by Emerson, Nietzsche, Jung, and Maslow and more implicitly within contemporary personality and neuropsychological research on numinous/transpersonal experience. An updated version of Gnostic dilemma and its conflicted dualism may be endemic to any would-be science of the spiritual and to much current transpersonal psychology as well.
