description Evagrius Ponticus, following an ancient and late-ancient tradition of thought, confers on the word a therapeutic power rooted in a profound conception of the disease of the soul. The present work show that in the Ponticus' work there is a recognition of the healing virtue of the word and a consequent proposal for the therapeutic exercise of that word. This proposal stems from a conception about self-ignorance as the disease of the soul. That therapeutic exercise is embodied and specified in the figure of the Gnostic. The Gnostic has traveled a spiritual itinerary at the end of which he has obtained science. By virtue of this he can carry out (in imitation of the divine physician) a medicinal ministry to sick souls and variously afflicted by passions.
