“The Gnostic Religion: The Message of the Alien God and the Beginnings of Christianity” by Hans Jonas (3rd edition)

"The Gnostic Religion was the first decent introduction to Gnosticism for the modern world and is still of value today. It includes both heresiological and original texts—Nag Hammadi only uncovered later. It holds useful material on Simon Magus, the Hermetic Poimandres (shown here to be equally a Gnostic document), the Valentinians, Mandaeans, Manichaeans and the Hymn of the Pearl.

“Philosophy and Psychedelics: Frameworks for Exceptional Experience” edited by Christine Hauskeller and Pter Sjostedt-Hughes

"What do psychedelics reveal about consciousness? What impact have psychedelics had on philosophy? In this rapidly growing area of study, this is the first volume to explore the philosophy of psychedelic experience, from a range of interdisciplinary and cross-cultural perspectives. In doing so, Philosophy and Psychedelics reveals just why the place of psychedelics in our societies should not be left to medical sciences alone, as psychedelic experience opens up new perspectives on fundamental philosophical questions relating to human experience, ethics, and the metaphysics of mind.
