Philo: Foundations of Religious Philosophy in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, Volume 1 - Structure and Growth of Philosophical Systems from Plato to Spinoza (Hardcover, 4th Revised edition)

In this authoritative study Professor Wolfson's purpose is to trace the processes of reasoning by which Philo Judaeus of Alexandria arrived at his philosophic principles. These principles later became the common foundations of Jewish, Christian, and Moslem philosophy, and in the 17th century were made the target of attack by Spinoza. This comprehensive work will be indispensable to all serious students of Philo's thought.
