| Summary: | Why does Philo of Alexandria seem to avoid the open use of dialectic, which was regarded in the ancient world, together with physics and ethics, as one of the three main divisions of philosophy? Has this got anything to do with the tension between proper logic and the sophistic practices of his age? Does Philo's interpretation of Abraham's migration from Ur of the Chaldees include a hidden political message? Why, according to Philo, did Jacob mourn the manner. |
