Some Gnostics denied the true humanity of Christ.

Some Gnostics, believed that the body was inherently sinful, so they practiced asceticism, a system of self-denial or even self-torture, in an effort to attain a higher spiritual state.

Others went to the opposite extreme, living in carnal indulgence, saying that the body didn't matter or have any affect on a person's spiritual life!

Was Anaxagoras a monist?

The ancient Greek philosopher Anaxagoras (circa 510-428 BC/BCE) was not a monist. Although his viewpoint seemed to include notions of the intermingling and basic unity of ordinary things, his doctrine of 'nous' (or, mind) as a separate force at work in reality is on its own an indicator that he did not see the world as monistic. Still more decisively, he also seemed intent on revising the monistic teachings of another ancient philosopher, Parmenides.
