The Ends of Contemporary Gnostic Thinking
. . .extensive tattoos & multiple skin piercings amaze most people over 60. Yet there seems hardly a word of critique of these body deformations in journals. Thinking about Gnosticism, I suspect that this ancient philosophical aberration has given rise to the current exotic fashion . . . it seems that reinvented Gnosticism has racked up intensely more injurious effects. By examining a few gnostic principles, I want to show its detrimental legacy in contemporary life. Baby boomers are justly alarmed by the showcasing of the body, & outraged by other developments. . .
