Riassunto

""An Introduction to Philo Judaeus"" is a book written by Erwin Ramsdell Goodenough that provides an in-depth exploration of the life and works of Philo Judaeus, a Hellenistic Jewish philosopher who lived in Alexandria, Egypt during the first century CE. The book begins with an overview of Philo's background and cultural context, including his education and upbringing in a Jewish community heavily influenced by Greek culture. Goodenough then delves into Philo's extensive writings, which include commentaries on the Torah and other Jewish texts, as well as philosophical treatises on topics such as ethics, metaphysics, and the nature of God. Throughout the book, Goodenough provides detailed analysis and interpretation of Philo's ideas, drawing on his own expertise in ancient philosophy and religion. The book is intended for both scholars and general readers interested in the history of Jewish philosophy and the intellectual climate of the ancient world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
