McCarthy, Pynchon, Beckett, Joyce, Proust, Kafka, Atwood

Is there a bigger cope than gnosticism? Knowledge is transitory... there's nothing there to even worship...

wait, is Kafka actually a gnostic? Should I reread the Trial as a gnostic allegory?

read plato you fucking loser
never say that in /lit/ EVER again

Btw what the fuck is wrong with Anglo analytics? I looked at the stanford article for Plato(pbuh)'s Parmenides and these niggers treat it as nothing but a literal logical excercise and assume that Parmenides chose the one because it's the first form that came to his mind. There's one sentence where they say that esoteric interpretations exist but that they just lead to a detachment from the text. Why do they detach themselves from the subject matter and banish it onto the blank page in the form of logical functions, even though the text is about existence that they share?

Is the goal of gnostics to kill themselves?

Pic related. Read Bloom's Introduction to Kafka for more.

>>16490677
>Joyce
The violence of religion against vehement atheism in A Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man is really about the Demiurge and the World fighting each other.
>Proust
The use of time and the employment of the stream of consciousness, paired with the 'transmigration of the soul', exemplify a deeply Gnostic form of religiosity?
>Atwood
Grace Marks is violence and change incarnate, she is never even truly "guilty" since she resists all attempts to try to rationalise her behaviour, which is only her nature to lash out at the material realm (characterised in Nancy as the materialist 'employer')

>You must be aware that there is something called "Gnostic Christianity". This is the Christianity of first-hand knowledge, and is the only correct form of Christianity.

Nice, thank you.

no, it's to ascend through the soul net and be reunited with the light-image.

Not him but there is definitely some Gnostic phrases and imagery in the Recherche. I can't remember any off the top of my head but they're definitely peppered in there.
