Gnosticism in Contemporary Culture
Gnostic. It’s one of those words that many people know, but few can define.

War is more Art than Science, but truly it is neither; it exists in the realm of social interaction. It is wrought upon a living and active force. Chapter 4: Methodicism Clausewitz begins this chapter by pondering the definitions of several words; I shall attempt to translate them into business terms. Law: the strictest term here (and to be understood in the sense of “Laws of Nature”)...
