GNOSTICISMUL PRIMELOR TREI SECOLE CRETINE DIN PERSPECTIVA CERCETRILOR ACTUALE - Rezumat Pr. Drd. Adrian Cazacu
Proiectul de tez doctoral cu titlul Gnosticismul primelor trei secole cretine din perspectiva cercetrilor actuale cuprinde 363 de pagini, fiind structurat n trei mari capitole: I. Dispute metodologice, II. O istorie zbuciumat i III. Fundamentele, care la rndul lor cuprind mai multe seciuni i sub-seciuni.
Captilolul I: Dispute metodologice Primul capitol este dedicat exclusiv prezentrii diferitelor metodologii de analiz ale fenomenului gnostic, formulate i aplicate de la sfritul secolului al XIX-lea pn astzi. naite de analiza propriu-zis a acestor metodologii ne-am oprit asupra subiectului extrem de delicat al definiiilor gnosticismului i asupra diferitelor mutaii pe care acestea le-au cunoscut de-a lungul timpului. Astfel, se poate vorbi la fel de bine despre gnosticism, nelegnd prin acesta fenomenul religios a crui manifestare a cunoscut maxima putere de rspndire n primele trei secole cretine, fenomen caracterizat printr-o serie de aspecte comune indiferent de modul de reprezentare, precum i despre gnosticisme, ca maniere cu totul diferite de exprimare a ideii de gnoz, lund n calcul aspectele cultural-sociale ale epocii. Ambii termeni gnosticism i gnosticisme sunt valabili dac avem n vedere multiplele expresii ale gnozei, analizat din perspectiv religioas. Urmtorul pas al analizei noastre l-a constituit investigarea principalelor direcii de interpretare a gnosticismului. Am pornint firesc, credem noi, de la cercetarea informaiilor oferite de Prinii Bisericii, definii generic n literatura de specialitate ca ereziologi. Poziia noastr se susine prin faptul c indiferent de numrul i ineditul descoperirilor recente, ereziologi ne prezint cele mai clare radiografii nu doar asupra modului n care gnosticii gndeau, ci i asupra felului n care au fost percepui n societatea greco-roman a primelor trei secole. Mai mult, disputa dintre Biseric i gnosticism reprezint prima etap a unui conflict de durat ntre credina cretin i filosofie, ale crui consecine nu trebuie s ne scape din vedere. Muli ar putea obiecta faptul c atitudinea ereziologilor este unanim intransigent f de 5
gnosticism , ns acest aspect nu trebuie tratat cu superficialitate. Statutul primelor comuniti cretine este mai mult dect incert, astfel c un dialog pe picior de egalitate cu filosofia elenistic ar fi fost imposibil. n acest context, doar nvtura de credin putea s fac o difereniere clar. Atunci cnd primele grupri gnostice ncearc s (re)interpreteze kerigma apostolic, dintr-o perspectiv mistic-filosofic, poziia tinerei Biserici este radical: falii propovduitori ai dreptei credine trebuie combtui i eliminai fr drept de apel. De aceast dat nu mai este vorba de o simpl disput filosofic, ci de contestarea nsei a legitimitii structurale a credinei cretine. Virulena primilor autori cretini nu este de mirare dac lum n calcul faptul c primele atacuri nu se ndreapt mpotriva Bisericii n sine, ci mpotriva persoanei lui Hristos, Cap al Bisericii, Cel pe a crui morte i nviere se fundamenteaz ntreaga vieuire cretin. Afirmaia Sfntului Apostol Pavel din I Cor. 15, 13 14 Dac nu este nviere a morilor, nici Hristos nu a nviat. i dac Hristos nu a nviat, zadarnic este atunci propovduirea noastr, zadarnic i credina voastr. nu are n vedere un simplu aspect teoretic al doctrinei, ci o situaie concret, creat de cei care ntr-un fel sau altul contestau realitatea nvierii lui Hristos. Cercetarea noastr s-a ndreptat pentru nceput ctre Apologiile Sfntului Justin Martirul i Filosoful, primul care ne ofer informaii despre Simon Magul, apoi am insistat pe marele tratat anti-eretic al Sfntului Irineu de Lugdunum, continund cu emulii acestuia Sfntul Ipolit Romanul i Sfntul Epifanie al Salaminei. O atenie deosebit am acordat-o lui Tertulian, care ne ofer dou descrieri amnunite ale sistemului marcionit i valentinian. Lecturarea textelor ereziologilor ne-a condus ctre identificarea unui tipar comun acceptat n analiza oricrei erezii n general i a gnosticismului n special: 1. prima etap o reprezint investigaia istoric asupra persoanei i operei unui eretic anume i poziionarea lui n raport cu Biserica; 2. prezentarea, pe ct posibil, sistematic a doctrinei acestuia; 3. formularea concis i bine argumentat att scripturistic ct i filosofic a poziiei cretinilor n raport cu acetia; 4. conturarea unei strategii misionare de combatere a acestora i de evitarea a oricrei forme de prozelitism.
Dup identificare i explicarea strategiei pe care Prinii Bisericii au abordat-o n combaterea gnosticismului, ne-am oprit asupra unuia dintre cele mai importante momente n 6
analiza acestui fenomen: Religionsgeschichtliche Schule. Metodologia formulat i dezvoltat de reprezentanii acestui curent poate fi rezumat n patru puncte: 1. motoda istorico religioas presupune o cercetare istoric radical a fiecrei religii; 2. conceptul religionsgeschichtlich presupune aplicarea unei metode comparative a religiilor, prin care critica istoric radical a Religionsgeschichtliche Schule conduce n chip necesar ctre o adaptare concomitent a fenomenelor religioase nrudite n cadrul cretinismului timpuriu; 3. critica istoric radical, n strns legtur cu comparatismul religios, are drept consecin identificarea unui element sociologic, altfel spus, identificarea evlaviei populare i a cultului ca principii generatoare (Erzeugern) ale tradiiei religioase (religisen berlieferungen); 4. al patrulea aspect const n identificarea (Entdekung) credinelor cretine primare (urchristlichen Glaubens) cu elementele psihologice, eseniale pentru nelegerea fenomenului religios.
Pentru a putea observa modul n care aceast metodologie a evoluat de-a lungul timpului, am analizat principalele lucrri reprezentative ale curentului religionsgeschichtlich, pornind de la Wilhelm Anz (Zur Frage nach dem Ursprung des Gnostizismus. Ein religionsgeschichtliche Versucht Goettingen, 1897), continund cu Wilhelm Bousset (Hauptprobleme der Gnosis Goettingen, 1907) i finaliznd cu Richard Reitzenstein, (Das iranische Erlsungsmysterium - Bonn, 1921 i Studien zum antiken Synkretismus aus Iran und Griechenland, n colaborare cu Heinrich H. Schaeder, Bonn, 1926). Lectura acestor lucrri pune cititorul avizat sau nu n faa unui material impresionat, gestionat cu rigoarea proprie cercettorilor germani, dar i n faa unei atitudini ndrznee n faport cu fundamentele tradiionale ale nvturii cretine. Tocmai aceast atitudine a fost cea care a dus la ncetarea influenei acestei coli asupra studiului cretinismului timpuriu i istoriei religiilor. Finalul Religionsgeschichtliche Schule afirm Kurt Rudolph dup sfritul celui de-al doilea rzboi mondial se datoreaz nu doar schimbri sociale prin care trecea Germania, ci i noilor tendine radicale din cadrul teologiei, aa cum este cazul celor produse de Karl Barth i de teologia dialectic. La aceste transofrmri trebuie s adugm i moartea preamatur a multora dintre reprezentanii de seam ai acestei coli. Marele merit al acestui curent de cercetare este totui acela c a reuit s ofere un numr impresionant de date, prin intermediul crora gnosticismul a fost scos din sfera curentelor religioase marginale, cu influen cretin i filosofic i inclus n categoria sistemelor religioase ce evolueaz ctre o unitate clar din punct de vedere doctrinar. 7
Critica metodei religionsgeschichtlich a dus la naterea unei noi metodologii, de aceast dat axat n primul rnd pe analiza fenomenologic, sintetizat prin lucrarile colocviului de la Messina (1966) i prin studiile lui Ugo Biachi, Hans Jonas i Ioan Petru Culianu. Ugo Bianchi schimb practic traiectoria studiilor de la investigaiile asupra originilor la studierea fenomentului n sine, potrivit unor repere bine formulate (seturile de opoziii) i tot el este cel care, pe baza discuiilor de la Messina, formuleaz o prim variant viabil de definiie a gnosticismului. Hans Jonas, respectnd n mare poziia lui Biachi, opteaz pentru o abordare existenialist, heideggerian, a gnosticismului, n timp ce Culianu propune practic o sintez, n care seturile de opoziii i exegeza existenialist i gsesc finalitatea ntr-o metodologie nou, inspirat de structurile geometrice de tip fractal.
Capitolul al II-lea: O istorie zbuciumat
Capitolul al II-lea ia n discuie istoria diferitelor curente gnostice, pornind de la primele manifestri, pn la structurile extrem de bine sistematizate existente n colile valentiniene. Primul personaj analizat este cel al enigmaticului Simon Magul i spun enigmatic pentru c exist o diferen covritoare ntre informaiile oferice de textul din F. A. 8, 9 24 i cele existente n prima Apologie a Sfntului Justin Martirul i Filosoful, n Aduersus Haereses a Sfntului Irineu i n Faptele apocrife ale lui Petru. Dac textul scripturistic este lacunar, nu la fel se poate spune despre mrturiile patristice. Aici ne este descris un veritabil sistem, pre-gnostic n care Simon nlocuie persoana Mntuitorului Hristos, iar Elena ocup locul Sophiei nelepciunea, operndu-se cu o exegez invers a textelor scripturistice i cu o demonizare radical a ntregului Vechi Testament. Diferenele majore dintre Simon neo-testamentar i Simon- printele tuturor ereziilor descris de prinii Bisericii ne ndreptesc s afirmm c avem de-a face cu o evoluie profund nu doar a imaginii magului, ci i a doctrinei sale, trecnd de la simplele forme de magie la o adevrat teologie, cu evidente trsturi gnostice. Un alt personaj, la fel de controversat ca i Simon Magul, este Marcion, dat fiind faptul c la ora actual cercettorii nu pot fixa apartenena clar a acestuia la gnosticism. Raportat la orice definiie a gnosticismului, Marcion i doctrina sa par s ias din aceste cadre, ns, cu toate acestea, el este aproape n unanimitate inclus, ca dat esenial, n problema spinoas a gnozei i gnosticismului. De unde aceast asociere? n primul rnd diferenele de informaii, de date nu realizeaz dect inadvertene formale, fr a ataca n vreun fel miezul problemei. Cei mai muli 8
cercettori ai gnosticismului l consider a fi mai degrab o categorie, dect un fenomen ce poate fi definit cu precizie. Din aceast categorie face parte i marcionismul, chiar dac acestuia i lipsesc elemente gnostice eseniale aa cum sunt preeminena cunoaterii sau prezena i implicarea direct a divinului n lume. n al doilea rnd, evoluia istoric a acestei categorii a dus la o serie de schimbri greu de asociat att n categoria genului proxim ct i n cea a diferenelor specifice. Marcion rmne astfel gnostic, nu att prin doctrina sa stricto sensu, ct prin asocierea cu un curent religios extrem de labil, numit n modul cel mai generic cu putin drept gnosticism. Analiza cea mai exist din cea de a doua parte a lucrrii noastre este dedicat iudeo- gnosticilor. Termenul este discutabil printre istoricii gnosticismului, el fiind intru totul agreat de savani redutabili precum Birger Pearson, Gedaliahu Guy Stroumsa sau Edwin Yamauchi, ns relativizat de Gilles Quispel. ntre acetia, Yamauchi are probabil poziia cea mai echilibrat n sensul c dei admite existena unui gnosticism pre-cretin, de influen iudaic, adevrata dezvoltare a acestuia are loc doar n mediul cretin. Date fiind aceste ambiguiti ce i ateapt nc rezolvarea, am optat pentru analizarea unei liste de grupri iudeo-gnostice, urmnd ntr-o mare msur pe cea a cardinalului Jean Danielou, formulat n lucrarea sa Biserica Primar: 1. Nicolaiii; 2. Cerint; 3. Simonienii; 4. Menandru; 5. Satornil; 6. Barbelognosticii; 7. Sethienii; 8. Carpocrate i 9. Basilide. Privite n ansamblu, ele se caracterizeaz prin cteva trsturi comune, uor de identificat i, totodat, extrem de utile pentru nelegerea fenomenului gnostic n general: 1. abordarea alegoric a Vechiului Testament; 2. folosirea surselor apocrife iudaice; 3. existena unui mit unitar, n centrul cruia se afl un strmo mitic, identificat fie cu Barbelo, Seth, arpele etc. Un loc aparte l-am alocat, de asemenea, valentinianismului, considerat de ctre cei mai muli cercettori drept sistemul gnostic cel mai evoluat i mai bine sistematizat. n cazul valentinienilor vechile preocupri exegetice ale gruprilor iudeo-gnostice sunt amplificate. De aceast dat, un rol important l joac interpretarea textelor evanghelice i a celor pauline ntr-o cheie cu profunde valene platonice i neoplatonice. Chiar terminologia folosit este preluat din sfera filosofiei i ncrcat cu semnificaii suplimentare, teologice. Exegeza vetero-testamentar este ncetul cu ncetul trecut n plan secundar, iniiindu-se un tip nou de hermeneutic biblic, axat deopotriv pe alegorie i literalism. ncercnd s delimitm cteva trsturi principale ale gnozei valentiniene, putem concluziona urmtoarele: 9
1. este o gnoz de tip aproape exclusiv intelectualist; 2. baza acesteia o reprezint coabitarea dintre mitul gnostic n formele sale iudeo- cretine i cultura elenistic; 3. terminologia folosit este de factur preponderent platonic, cu unele trsturi stoice i epicureice; 4. mitul gnostic este prezentat ntr-o form sistematizeaz ce urmrete invariabil o serie de puncte fundamentale din punct de vedere doctrinar; 5. scindarea n diferite curente de gndire nu reprezint o ruptur la nivelul mitului, ci o ncercare de adaptare la o realitate cultural anume i de impunere a autoritii diferiilor reprezentani; 6. influena sistemului valentinian asupra evoluiei ulterioare a gnosticismului este covritoare, putnd fi identificat att la multe dintre sectele medievale, precum i la curentele moderne de gndire.
Capitolul al III-lea
Ultima parte i cea mai dificil a cercetrii o reprezint analiza fundamentelor doctrinare ale gnosticismului. Dac n cazul prezentrii istoriei curentelor gnostice am utilizat n cea mai mare parte izvoarele patristice, de aceast dat principalele surse le-au reprezentat textele de la Nag Hammadi. nainte de analiza propriu-zis a principalelor elemente de doctrin gnostic, am ncercat s realizm o investigaie la zi a unei probleme extrem de importante pentru nelegerea locului gnosticismului printre celelalte curente religioase: dualismul i raportul gnsoticismului cu acesta. Pornind de la cercettrile etnologilor rui Veselovski i Dragomanov i pn la investigaiile lui Bianchi i Culianu, dualismul a constituit un subiect delicat, greu de circumscris istoric i cu att mai mult fenomenologic. Ideea lui Culianu c acesta s-ar comporta asemenea unui organism viu, cu multiple potene, dei interesant, nu s-a bucurat de prea mare succes, primind criticile unor reputai specialiti n problema gnosticismului, precum Michael Allan Williams. La fel de problematic este raportarea gnosticismului la dualism datorit faptului c multe dintre sistemele gnostice nu prezint n mod necesar o opoziie radical a principiilor, mai mult n majoritatea cazurilor demiurgul nu este un principiu egal Tatlui descris ca nenscut, necuprins i necunoscut, ci un produs al unei erori a ultimului aeon al Pleromei, Sophia. Pentru a putea rspunde acestei probleme, am apelat la seturile de opoziii radical / moderat i anticosmic 10
/ procosmic, formulate de Bianchi. Concluzia noastr este c la baza gnosticismului st o abordare de tip dualist a ntregii realiti. Presupunerea unui pseudo-dualism al gnosticismului nu poate fi verificat dect dac pornim de la ideea c singurul dualism existent este cel radical, or multe dintre sistemele gnostice opereaz cu o form moderat a acestuia, fr a pierde prin aceast soluie, statutul de curent religios dualist. Odat clarificate aceste elemente preliminare, am purces la delimitarea, prezentarea i explicarea principalelor elemente de doctrin gnostic, ncepnd cu teogonia, explicnd apoi mitul Sophiei i resorturile ce duc la generarea acestuia i continund apoi firesc cu elementele de cosmologie, antropologie, soteriologie i eshatologie. Pentru o mai bun sintetizare, am ales s abordm problemele potrivit unui tipar aparte: analiza principiului gnostic i a aspectelor implicate (raportul unu / multiplu; problema dualismului moderat a celor mai multe dintre scrierile gnostice); Sophia ca personaj principal al mitului gnostic, insistnd asupra faptului c la baza actelor sale nu st att greeala sau ndeprtarea de Cel ce a generat-o, ci propria dorin de putere; imaginea demiurgului, cu trsturile sale principale, ignorana i trufia; apariia omului i locul su n cosmos; raportul dintre mntuire i gnoz, cu insisten pe importana cunoaterii n soteriologia gnostic i, n fine, elementele de eshatologie, nelese sub aceeai umbrel a noiunii de restitutio in integrum. Ultimul sub-capitol al acestei pri este dedicat continuatorilor sau, mai bine zis, supravieuitorilor gnosticismului din primele trei secole cretine. Manifestrile acestuia n spaiul culturii moderne sunt extrem de diverse, pornind de la utilizarea diferitelor mituri gnostice (dualismul principiului, Sophia, diavolul, nstrinarea omului de lume) prezente n creaiile literare ale unor autori precum Milton, Blake, Gtthe sau Thomas Mann, trect prin diferitele curente religioase ca teosofia i New Age i culminnd n noile forme de gnoz, filosofico-tiinific precum cea a lui Raymond Ruyer, cunoscut sub numele de Gnoza de la Princeton. n acest fel, gnosticismul i face nc simit prezena n sfera cultural-religioas a umanitii, constituind un subiect extrem de delicat i de important n nelegerea modului n care evolueaz viaa spiritual a societii contemporane Noutatea adus de cercetarea noastr se regsete n primul rnd n metodologia folosit. Mergnd pe aceleeai filier fenomenologic, am optat pentru o hermeneutic invers, pornind nu de la cutarea originilor, ci de la datele concrete pe care le deinem fie din textele Prinilor Bisericii, fie din manuscrisele de la Nag Hammadi. De asemenea, am luat n calcul 11
toate impotezele de interpretare emise, formulndu-ne propria opinie cu privire la istoria i evoluia mitului gnostic. Astfel, considerm c mitul gnostic este o mbinare subtil de elemente cosmologice, soteriologice i eshatologice menite s evidenieze preeminena cunoaterii (gnozei) ca principal element al restaurrii naturii umane n cadrele bine stabilite ale dualismului. Resortul ce pune n micare tot acest mecanism mitic nu-l reprezint nici pornirile ctre desfrnare ale Sophiei, nici ignorana demiurgului, ci voina de putere pe care o manifest acetia i, prin ei, ntreagul univers. n toate miturile gnostice avem de-a face cu o exarcebare a acestei dorine pe diferite planuri i cu multiple efecte. Un alt element de noutate l constituie faptul c n analiza noastr am abordat pentru prima dat n spaiul teologic romnesc o studiere comparativ att a mrturiilor Prinilor Bisericii ct i a documentelor gnostice propriu-zise. O atare abordare, ne-a dat posibilitatea conturrii unei viziuni de ansamblu asupra gnosticismului. Ca not final, am concluzionat c gnosticismul, n ansamblul su, rmne un fenomen pe ct de interesant, pe att de contradictoriu n ceea ce privete percepiile asupra lui. Cercetrile intreprinse asupra acestuia nu au reuit nc s l ncandreze n mod definitiv n sfera religiosului. Astfel, vom ntlni un numr impresinonant de studii n care gnosticismul este definit fie ca sistem religios, ca structur religioas compozit sau chiar ca religie de sine stttoare, opus radical att cretinismului ct i iudaismului sau filosofiei eleniste. Nu trebuie s scpm din vedere, nvtura Bisericii, potrivit creia gnosticismul a fost i a rmas una dintre cele mai versatile erezii cu care aceasta s-a confruntat. La fel de important este ns faptul c poziia eclezial nu se fundamenteaz doar de datele obinute n urma analizei tiinifice, ci i pe tradiia sa dogmatic, istoric i duhovniceasc. Din aceast perspectiv, atitudinea sa intransigent nu poate fi nici condamnat, nici nlocuit cu o poziie mai mult sau mai puin tolerant.
