      About the Book

      English summary: The theme of this book is to explicate the statements about envy in the Gnostic myths in the light of their historical, cultural, and political context, as well as of the self-understanding of the Gnostics. For this purpose, the present author takes up several significant motifs, which constitute the Gnostic myths, and surveys the function of envy-motifs in the myths. In the Gnosticism in the Syro-Egyptian lineage, envy plays quite an important role for the plot development. Envy is one of the principal constituents in myths. Also, psychological-mythological parallelism (der psychomythische Parallelismus G. Theissen) makes it possible to demythologize the Gnostic myths: that is to say, the Gnostics overcome their envy and recover their original way of envy-free being. In their political context, it turns into the exchange of roles: namely, the Roman Empire which subjugates the Gnostics under its strong government is now assigned the role of envier (Jaldabaoth in the Gnostic myths), while the Gnostics play the role of being envied as Kingless tribe or as The True Kings. But they turn away from the actual political activities. In this sense, the occidental Manis make a clear contrast with the Syro-Egyptian Gnostics, since they vigorously participated in political activities. The present author thus clarifies the mythological basis that enabled them to take part in the political activities. It is the structure of their soteriological myths that brings about the difference in their political activities. Two elements - the soteriological principle (by which the Gnostic myth is constructed) and the life attitude (which includes political posture)- are inseparably interrelated. Through these theses, the present author further demonstrates Max Weber's fundamental propositions in sociology of religion. German text. German description: Takashi Onuki hat sich die Aufgabe gestellt, die gnostischen Aussagen uber den Neid in ihrem historischen, kulturellen und politischen Kontext und vom Selbstverstandnis der Gnostiker her verstandlich zu machen. Zu diesem Zweck greift er Hauptmotive des gnostischen Mythos heraus, um an ihnen die mythologische Rolle des Neides herauszuarbeiten. Im syrisch-agyptischen Typ der Gnosis spielt der Neid eine fur die Entwicklung des Mythos sehr wichtige Rolle. Der Neid ist das Strukturprinzip des Mythos. Ausserdem macht der psychomythische Parallelismus (G. Theissen) es moglich, den Mythos psychologisch zu entmythologisieren: Die Gnostiker sollen in sich den Neid uberwinden und die ursprungliche Neidlosigkeit wieder erreichen. Im politischen Kontext geschieht ein Rollenwechsel: Dem romischen Reich, das die Gnostiker in seine feste Herrschaftsordnung eingebunden hat, fallt nunmehr die Rolle des Neiders (Jaldabaoth) zu, wahrend die Gnostiker als das konigslose Geschlecht, ja als die wahren Konige die Rolle der Beneideten bekleiden, obwohl sie sich von politischer Betatigung abgewandt haben. Im Unterschied dazu ist fur den nach Osten gewanderten Manichaismus eine aktive Beteiligung an der Politik bezeichnend. Das vorliegende Buch stellt die mythologische Begrundung, die den Manichaern dieses politische Engagement ermoglicht hat, klar heraus. Die unterschiedliche politische Einstellung der beiden Typen der Gnosis hangt eng mit der Struktur des jeweiligen Erlosungsmythos zusammen. Die mythologische Erlosungsidee einerseits und die Lebensfuhrung mit einer bestimmten politischen Einstellung andererseits sind untrennbar miteinander verbunden. Damit bestatigt das vorliegende Buch eine Grundthese der Religionssoziologie Webers uber den Zusammenhang zwischen Religion und Gesellschaft.
