The symbolism of the Egg may be followed through cosmogonic myths in many civilisations, which are similar among themselves and show that they share the same roots in certain segments. The roots of ...the Western civilizational circle are to be found in Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Syrian and the Palestinian countries, as well as in the Aegean (Balkan-Anatolian) cultural sphere. As a result of the contact with other civilizational circles, a kind of transfer of these influences on a lot wider geographic areas took place, as well as cyclic synergy came about. By comparing various cosmogonic myths, the conclusion may be drawn that the Egg is the primordial state of Cosmos, with Chaos within, from which the first Germ of Life stems (nature; gods; humans). The meaning of the original symbol of the Egg got lost in the course of time, so that only its importance with respect to the abundance and the cyclic restoration of life in nature, and the afterlife and resurrection in religion remained.
This article tells about Sethian and Valentinian (gnostic) conception of the feminine as pleromatic principle in the relation with designated middle platonic and latergreek philosophical ...comprehension of the feminine as unperfect disposition. With an attempt to present the authentic gnostic meaning of the feminine, in the sense which relies on the gnostic impression of the androgyne as the perfect and supreme principle, indirectly has been given gnostic’s cosmogonian thought on which base is farther given some basic difference between Christians and Gnostics. Three concepts of this paper, which have very important meaning in gnostic theachings, took a prior place. These are Barbelo, pneum a and Sophia - notability has been given primary by philosophical and philosophy-historical meaning of them.
Ovaj rad analizira roman Gavranov dar (2011.) aljaškog pisca Dona Reardena. Roman se bavi uništenjem prirodne sredine te se razvija kao apokaliptična pripovijest o genocidu nad starosjedilačkom ...Yup’ik zajednicom koji se vrši na razne načine, a kulminira umjetno izazvanim smrtonosnim virusom. Ipak, roman završava tako što budi nadu imanentnu starosjedilačkom konceptu sadržanom u riječi piuraa kroz koji se izražavaju duh mjesta i priroda starosjedilačke kulture. Taj koncept čini srž starosjedilačke kružne holističke kozmogonije i izravno je suprotstavljen linearnom duhu i prirodi progresivne civilizacije uz koju se neumitno veže pretpostavka kraja, odnosno propasti društava i kultura. U skladu s tim, koncept piuraa u Reardenovu romanu analizirat će se uz pomoć recentnih povijesnih, ekokritičkih i socioloških pristupa, poput onih Francisa Fukuyame, Jareda Diamonda i Petera Turchina, kao i kroz prizmu starosjedilačke epistemologije kako ju tumače Daniel Heath Justice i John Trudell.
U Platōnovu dijalogu Timaij iz Lokra u Italiji opisuje kozmogoniju svojim athēnskim prijateljima – to je posve sredozemni zemljopisni okvir pripovijesti. Ipak, mnogi kozmogonijski motivi u Timaiju ...imaju usporednica u staroindijskoj Aitareya-upaniṣadi, a neke se mogu naći u Iranaca, Slavena i, osobito, Germana. To upućuje na indoeuropsko, a ne sredozemno, podrijetlo. Ipak, to ne isključuje i moguće dalje usporednice. S druge strane, taj kozmogonijski model čini se da je utjecao na (grčko) nazivlje u kršćanskome određenju Tvorca i stvaranja u Nicejsko-carigradskome vjerovanju. Iako nije sredozemnoga podrijetla, kozmogonijski se je model iz Timaija nadaleko proširio Sredozemljem.
