Both Greek words "Gnosis" (Γνώσις) and "Logos" (Λόγος) incorporate the idea of knowledge. Both words have been used in Greek from ancient times until today for everyday use, but also in the context of philosophy and religion. Therefore they have accumulated a number of connotations which, however, are broadly centered around the human thought process of knowledge acquisition within a framework of reason.
