Gnosis, in the hands of Roberts Avens, is a perennial philosophy of the heart. He provides a readable, uncomplicated, and reliable introduction to the Gnosis going on today in the poetical thought of Martin Heidegger and the archetypal psychology of James Hillman. As a psychological philosopher, Avens brings fresh meanings to basic gnostic ideas about angels, salvation through knowledge, and the world as alive and ensouled. Therapies that encourage personified images and ecology movements concerned with the soul in things can find here a profound philosophical ground in The New Gnosis.
