Imanência e transcendência: as seduções gnósticas de nosso tempo

This article examines how contemporary ideologies, techno-utopianism, dialectical materialism, mystical nationalism, and identity progressivism, reproduce gnostic structures by eliminating the constitutive tension between immanence and transcendence. The analysis carefully distinguishes between legitimate concerns (environmental conservation, social justice, technological progress) and their gnostic distortions, which promise esoteric knowledge for elites and total redemption through transformation in the structure of reality. The central argument demonstrates that these manipulations destroy authentic mediations, language, art, ritual, tradition, that allow simultaneous experience of the transcendent and immanent without artificially resolving their tension.
