背景知识：英语单词agnostic不可知最早在1869年由英国哲学家托马斯·亨利·赫胥黎创造，用于描述他的哲学。这种哲学否认认识世界或彻底认识世界的可能性。在他那里，不可知论者是指对基督教神学教条表示怀疑，但又拒绝无神论，从而主张把上帝是否存在这一类问题搁置起来的人。
“诺斯替主义”Gnosticism是希腊哲学晚期的一种思想，认为物质世界是邪恶的，灵魂从灵性世界堕落至邪恶的物质世界，只能通过“灵知”才能得到救赎，重返灵性世界。他们把这种隐秘的、关乎拯救的智慧或“灵知”称为“诺斯”gnosis，将拥有“灵知”的人称为“诺斯替”Gnostic。在基督教发展初期，诺斯替主义者曾借用基督信仰来表达这种隐秘智慧的求道方式，被教会的大公会议判为异端。
