Summary/Abstract: The phenomenon of human development seems to them the central question of philosophical and religious thought with the aim of overcoming the state of moral degradation in which man himself has found himself. In this context, Gnostic thought represented one of the more innovative ways of reading through which its promoters offered an educational alternative to delivering man from a situation of moral failure and a state of conflict of civilizations between nations. The following questions arise: What are the conditions for the construction and development of man contained in Gnostic thought? And how can gnosis represent a kind of intellectual and educational school that saves man from value degradation caused by the materialistic discourse that controls human freedom, limits the horizon of his thinking, and narrows the spaces of coexistence and cooperation?
