207: Encyclopedia II - Gnosticism - Etymology and philosophical context

Gnosticism - The meaning of 'gnosis'. The word gnosticism is a modern construction, though based on an antiquated linguistic expression; it comes from the Greek word meaning 'knowledge', gnosis (γνώσις). However, gnosis itself refers to a very specialised form of knowledge, deriving both from the exact meaning of the original Greek term and its usage in Platonist philosophy. Unlike modern English, ancient Greek was capable of discerning between several different forms of knowing. ...

207: Encyclopedia II - Gnosticism - Overview

The complex nature of gnostic teaching and the fact that much of the material relating to the schools comprising Gnosticism has traditionally come from critiques by orthodox Christians make it difficult to be precise about early Christian gnostic systems. Irenaeus (Adversus Haereses) described several different schools of 2nd century gnosticism in disparaging and often sarcastic detail while contrasting them with Christianity to their detriment. Despite this modern discussion of gnosticism at first relied heavily on Irenaeus and other ...

207: Encyclopedia II - Satavahana - Early rulers

After becoming independent around 230 BCE, Simuka, the founder of the dynasty, conquered Maharashtra, Malwa and part of Madhya Pradesh. He was succeeded by his brother Kanha (or Krishna) (r. 207-189 BCE), who further extended his kingdom to the west and the south. His successor Sātakarnī I defeated the Sunga dynasty of North India, and performed several Vedic sacrifices at huge cost, including the Horse Sacrifice. By this time the dynasty was well established, with its capital at Pratishthānapura (Paithan) in Maharashtra, and its power spreading into all of South India. The Pūrānas list 30 rulers of this line. Many are known ...

207: Encyclopedia II - Satavahana - Conflict with the Shakas Yavanas and Pahlavas

The first century CE saw the incursion of the Sakas of Central Asia into India, where they formed the dynasty of the Western Kshatrapas. The four immediate successors of Hāla (r. 20-24 CE) had short reigns totalling about a dozen years. About this time the kingdom lost some of its territory, including Malwa, to the Western Kshatrapas. Eventually Gautamiputra (Sri Yagna) Sātakarni (r. 106-130 CE) defeated the Western Kshatrapa ruler Nahapana, restoring the prestige of his dynasty by reconquering a large part of the former dominions o ...

207: Encyclopedia II - Satavahana - Cultural achievements

Of the Sātavāhana kings, Hāla (r. 20-24 CE) is famous for compiling the collection of Prakrit poems known as the Gāhā Sattasai ( Sanskrit: Gāthā Saptashatī), although from linguistic evidence it seems that the work now extant must have been re-edited in the succeeding century or two. The Sātavāhana kings are also remarkable for their contributions to Buddhist art and architecture. The great stupas in the Krishna River Valley were built by them, including the stupa at Amravati in Andhra Pradesh. The stupas were decorated in marble slabs and sculpted with scenes from the life of the Buddha, p ...

207: Encyclopedia II - Satavahana - Decline

Ultimately the Sātavāhanas fell prey to the rising ambitions of their feudatories. Several dynasties divided the lands of the kingdom among themselves. Among them were: Abhiras in the northwestern part of the kingdom. They were ultimately to succeed the Sātavāhanas in their capital Pratishthānapura. Chutus in South Maharashtra and Karnataka. Ikshvākus (or Srīparvatiyas) in the Krishna-Guntur region. On the boundaries of the old Sātavāhana Kingdom arose a number of new states, which seized their territory. The most important were the Pallavas of Kanchipuram, of whom the first ru ...

207: Encyclopedia II - Gnosticism - Gnosticism in pop culture

Gnosticism has also seen something of a resurgence in popular culture in recent years. This may be related, certainly, to the sudden availibility of gnostic texts to the reading public, following the emergence of the Nag Hammadi library. Nevertheless, this dissemination of material has not necessarily resulted in a wider understanding of the intricacies of gnosticism; often the influence of gnosticism on modern culture dervies from an understandng of the movement largely subject to the influences of the ancient heresiologists, as being obses ...

207: Encyclopedia II - Liu Shan - Early life

Born in 207, Liu Shan was the oldest son of Liu Bei, by his concubine Lady Gan (甘夫人). In the next year, the powerful warlord Cao Cao, who had by then occupied the entire northern China, launched a campaign against Jingzhou (荆州, present day Hubei and Hunan). During his retreat south, Liu Bei was caught up by an elite cavalry force led by Cao Cao at Changban (長阪, northeast of present day Dangyang County, Hubei) and forced to leave behind Empress Gan and Liu Shan to resume his escape. The general Zhao Yun stayed behind to protect ...

207: Encyclopedia II - Governors of Roman Britain - Diocese of the Britains

Following the reabsorption of Britain into the Roman Empire, the island was further repartitioned by Diocletian, this time into four separate provinces, Maxima Caesariensis in the southeast, with its capital at London, Flavia Caesariensis in the east, with its capital at Lincoln, Britannia Secunda in the north, with its capital at York, and Britannia Prima in the west (including present day Wales), with its capital at Cirencester. A fifth province called Valentia also briefly existed, probably in the far north. Each had a governor of equestr ...

207: Encyclopedia II - Liu Shan - Life after Shu Han's destruction

In 264, Liu Shan and his entire clan was relocated to the Cao Wei capital Luoyang. He was created the Duke of Anle (安樂公), and his sons and grandsons were created marquesses. According to the Spring and Autumn Annals of Han and Jin (漢晉春秋) by Xi Zuochi (习鑿齒), Sima Zhao, the Duke of Jin and de facto ruler of the Kingdom of Wei, one day invited Liu Shan and his followers to a feast, during which Sima Zhao arranged to have entertainers perform traditional Shu music and dance. The former Shu officials present were all saddened, but Liu Shan was visibly unmoved. When asked by ...

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a 14th century historical novel by Luo Guanzhong, is a romanticization of the events that occurred before and during the Three Kingdoms era. The novel generally portrays Liu Shan as an incapable ruler who was easily swayed by words, especially those from his favorite eunuch Huang Hao.

    Gnosticism - A typological model: the main features of gnosticism. Though difficulties have arisen in offering a definitive, categorical definition of gnosticism (see below), various strategies have been employed in overcoming the problem, with varying degrees of success. It is therefore appropriate to offer a typological model of those ancient philosophical movements typically called gnostic; the model offered is adapted from Christoph Markschies' version, as described in Gnosis: An Introduction: ...

    207: Encyclopedia II - Gnosticism - 'Gnosticism' as a potentially flawed category

    In 1966 in Messina, Italy, a conference was held concerning systems of gnosis. Among its several aim were the need to incept a program to translate the recently-acquired Nag Hammadi libary (see above) and the need to arrive at an agreement concerning an accurate definition of gnosticism. This was in answer to the tendency, prevalent since the eighteenth century, to use the term 'gnostic' less as its origins implied, but rather as an interpretive category for contemporary philosophical and religious movements. Thus in 1835 New Testamen ...

Carl Jung and his associate G. R. S. Mead worked on trying to understand and explain the Gnostic faith from a psychological standpoint. Jung's "analytical psychology" in many ways schematica ...

    207: Encyclopedia II - Second Punic War - Results

    Hispania was lost to Carthage forever, and she was reduced to a client state. A war indemnity of 10,000 talents was imposed, her navy was limited to 10 ships to ward off pirates, and she was forbidden from raising an army without Rome's permission. Numidia took the opportunity to capture and plunder Carthaginian territory. Half a century later, when Carthage raised an army to defend itself from these incursions, it was destroyed by Rome in the Third Punic War. Rome on the other hand, by her victory, had taken a ...

In this model, Classical Gnosticism and The School of Thomas antedated, and influenced the development of, Valentinus (whom Layton called 'the great [gnostic] reformer' and 'the focal point' of gnostic ...

    207: Encyclopedia II - Zhuge Liang - The Southern Expedition

    Zhuge Liang felt that in order to march North he would first have to unify Shu completely. If he fought against the North while the Nanman people rebelled, then the Nanman people would march further and perhaps even press into areas surrounding the capital. So rather than embarking on a Northern Campaign, Zhuge Liang led an army to pacify the south first. Ma Su (Ma Liang's brother) proposed the plan that Zhuge Liang should work toward getting the rebels to join him rather than killing all of them and he took this plan. Zhuge Liang defeated the rebel leader, Meng Huo, seven different times, but released hi ...
