From the Dualist Gnosis to the Imaginary Literature on the Devil.

SANDU, Antonio

This paper represents an excellent overview of the censorship of the European collective imaginary, challenged as stranger of the one that is different, of the nonbrother identified eventually as Satan. In the vision of the author Simona Maria Drelciuc, the Devil is the existential pole of the medieval imaginary, a fundamental cultural mark, "catalyst of the European civilization" (Drelciuc, 2015). This bringing into attention of the image of the non-brother allows us to reflect on the European civilization, of religious nature, and of "cultural periphery placement" of the Christian moral values such as love, tolerance etc.
