Soteriology for a man in revolt

The paper talks about some aspects of Xenakis’ philosophical orientation from a soteriological perspective. The essay The Rebel, by Albert Camus, is used in a trial for characterize Xenakis. Some aspects of Xenakian thought will be related with two philosophical personalities: in one hand, the philosophy of art of Schelling, who also had as the goal of his reflection the construction of a “science of art”; on the other hand, with the tradition of hermetic thought represented by Giordano Bruno’s philosophy of bonds. The soteriological perspective permits reflecting about the gnostic orientation of the Xenakian philosophy, especially in relation with the time. John Gray’s thesis is used to characterize the Xenakis attitude in this subject.
