Embedded within the tractates of the Mishnah are the "androcentric idealizations" of their rabbinic authors/compilers. In the thirteenth dialogue of the Corpus Hermeticum, the mystery of a this-worldly rebirth is associated with a similar kind of experience, and the dualist ascesis of other tractates (notably the first, fourth, and seventh) is developed into what might be described as an embryonic instrumental skepticism - instrumental because its purpose is to prepare for a revelation which will efface all ignorance and doubt. |
