| Descripción: | This article proposes to analyze the invention of a gnosis that is based on the praise of simplicity understood as a maxim of Clement´s philosophical and theological thought. The praise of simplicity is related to the capacity of the human person to become divine; in that regard another category which originates from this practice is that of theoi andres, a category that synthetizes the pagan philosophy and Clement´s Christian thinking. Clement´s gnosis is understood as a series of ethical exercises based upon the care of the flesh, the Christian response to the Roman pomposity and aristocracy, and the practice of sophron bios or moderate life. Keywords: Gnosis, Clementine theology, Pagan Philosophy, Treatment of Passions, Use of Pleasures |
