Philo

Philo van Alexandrië (20 v.Chr. – 50 n.Chr.), ook genaamd Philo Judaeus, was een hellenistische joodse filosoof uit Alexandrië. Philo maakte gebruik van allegorie om de Griekse met de joodse filosofie te doen samensmelten. Hij maakte daarbij gebruik van de werkwijze van zowel de joodse exegese als de stoïcijnse filosofie.
