Using his excellent knowledge of Greek, which was then rare in the West, to his advantage, he studied the Hebrew Bible and Greek authors like Philo, Origen, Athanasius, and Basil of Caesarea, with whom he was also exchanging letters.

This tradition of creator God as nous ( the manifestation of consciousness ), can be validated in the works of pre-Plotinus philosophers such as Numenius, as well as a connection between Hebrew and Platonic cosmology ( see also Philo ).

It is recognized as the etymology of the form Ossaioi ( and note that Philo also offered an O spelling ) and Essaioi and Esseni spelling variations have been discussed by VanderKam, Goranson and others.

Philo also refers to the " knowledge " ( gnosis ) and " wisdom " ( sophia ) of God.

The Stoic modification of Heraclitus ' idea of the Logos was also influential on Jewish philosophers such as Philo of Alexandria, who connected it to " Wisdom personified "

" In addition to the Judeo-Roman or Judeo-Hellenic historians Artapanus, Eupolemus, Josephus, and Philo, a few non-Jewish historians including Hecataeus of Abdera ( quoted by Diodorus Siculus ), Alexander Polyhistor, Manetho, Apion, Chaeremon of Alexandria, Tacitus and Porphyry also make reference to him.

Philo, a Hellenistic Jewish philosopher also exonerates Noah by noting that one can drink in two different manners: ( 1 ) to drink wine in excess, a peculiar sin to the vicious evil man or ( 2 ) to partake of wine as the wise man, Noah being the latter.

Philo also proposes that the order in nature may be due to nature alone.

It can also be speculated that Philo was referring to Antony cross-dressing in Act 1, scene 1:

Philo of Alexandria also listed them as addition ( πρόσθεσις ), subtraction ( ἀφαίρεσις ), transposition ( μετάθεσις ), and transmutation ( ἀλλοίωσις ).

A compilation album, Soldier of Fortune, was released in 1987, and also that year, the " Vibe for Philo " tribute concert in Lynott's memory was organised by Dublin DJ and promoter Smiley Bolger, which continues on an annual basis on the anniversary of Lynott's death.

This line-up also played at the Vibe for Philo gig on 4 January 1996, with a number of other notable musicians including Eric Bell, Midge Ure, Henry Rollins, Therapy?

Very little is known about him as none of his works have survived, though he has been mentioned and discussed in detail by Photius ( in his Myriobiblion ) and Sextus Empiricus, and also to a lesser extent by Diogenes Laertius and Philo of Alexandria.

On the road to success they also encountered a battle with the young inventor Philo T. Farnsworth, who had been granted patents in 1930 for his solution to broadcasting moving pictures.

Philo ( 20 B. C .– 50 A. D .), known also as Philo of Alexandria (), Philo Judaeus, Philo Judaeus of Alexandria, Yedidia, " Philon ", and Philo the Jew, was a Hellenistic Jewish Biblical philosopher born in Alexandria.

Josephus also tells us that Philo was skilled in philosophy, and that he was brother to an official called Alexander the alabarch.

But Philo, the principal of the Jewish embassage, a man eminent on all accounts, brother to Alexander the alabarch, ( 30 ) and one not unskillful in philosophy, was ready to betake himself to make his defense against those accusations ; but Gaius prohibited him, and bid him begone ; he was also in such a rage, that it openly appeared he was about to do them some very great mischief.

Philo regards the Bible as the source not only of religious revelation, but also of philosophic truth ; for, according to him, the Greek philosophers also have borrowed from the Bible: Heraclitus, according to " Quis Rerum Divinarum Heres Sit " § 43 ; Zeno, according to Quod Omnis Probus Liber, § 8.

Philo determines also the values of the numbers 50, 70, and 100, 12, and 120.

But pupils of Philo may subsequently have founded near Alexandria similar colonies that endeavored to realize his ideal of a pure life triumphing over the senses and passions ; and they might also have been responsible for the one-sided development of certain of the master's principles.

The Hellenistic Jewish philosopher Philo in the early 1st century AD wrote about the destruction of Atlantis in his On the Eternity of the World, xxvi.

Both Philo, who wrote during Tiberius's reign, and Josephus record Tiberius as dying a natural death.

In this context, Philo wrote that Caligula " regarded the Jews with most especial suspicion, as if they were the only persons who cherished wishes opposed to his ".

Philo reports that upon reading the letters, Tiberius " wrote to Pilate with a host of reproaches and rebukes for his audacious violation of precedent and bade him at once take down the shields and have them transferred from the capital to Caesarea.

Philo wrote a systematic work on Moses and his laws, which was prefaced by the treatise " De Opificio Mundi ," which in the present editions precedes " De Allegoriis Legum ," book i ( comp.

Philo wrote expansively on the intersection of philosophy, politics, and religion during the late Second Temple Period.

And in c. 40 CE, the Roman-Jewish writer Philo of Alexandria wrote of the Jews in Palestine: " Moreover Palestine and Syria too are not barren of exemplary wisdom and virtue, which countries no slight portion of that most populous nation of the Jews inhabits.

And the writers on Athenian history, Hellanicus and Philochorus ( who wrote Atthis ), Castor and Thallus and Alexander Polyhistor, and also those most wise of men, Philo and Josephus ... these men mention Moses, as they do the very old and ancient origin of the Jews.

Philo wrote a dictionary of synonyms, a collection of scientific writers and their works organized by category, a catalogue of cities with their famous citizens, and a Vita of the Emperor Hadrian.

At the height of Philo Vance's popularity, comic poet Ogden Nash wrote:

Philo of Byzantium wrote of such a device in the 2nd century B. C.

Included among the topics on which he wrote are: the Apology of Aristides ( 1891 ), the Didache, Philo, the Diatessaron, the Christian Apologists, Acts of Perpetua, The Odes and Psalms of Solomon ( 1906 ), the Gospel of Peter, and other Western and Syriac texts, and numerous works on biblical manuscripts.

This nickname particularly stuck after William Pantycelyn wrote Llythyr Martha Philopur at y Parchedig Philo Evangelius eu hathro ( Martha Philopur's letter to the Reverend Philo Evangelius her teacher ) followed by Atteb Philo-Evangelius i Martha Philopur ( Philo-Evangelius's reply to Martha Philopur ).

In 2012, she wrote Sexe Philo, in collaboration with philosophy PHD Francis Métivier.

She wrote 10 books, most of them about female sexuality ( Osez découvrir le point G, La sexualité féminie de A à Z ...), but also about pregnancy ( Osez l ' amour durant la grossesse ), philosophy ( Sexe Philo ), and Punk Rock ( Metal Urbain: a good hippie is a dead one ).

Philo further says that Taautus wrote the work Commentaries, in which he discussed the creation.

* His belief that Christ, as Logos, was in some sense created, contrary to John 1 but following Philo.

Here John adapts the doctrine of the Logos, God's creative principle, from Philo, a 1st-century Hellenized Jew.

Philo had adopted the term Logos from Greek philosophy, using it in place of the Hebrew concept of Wisdom ( sophia ) as the intermediary ( angel ) between the transcendent Creator and the material world.

The Jewish philosopher Philo merged these two themes when he described the Logos as God's creator of and mediator with the material world.

For Philo, the Logos was God's " blueprint for the world ", a governing plan.

Philo considers these divine powers in their totality also, treating them as a single independent being, which he designates " Logos ".

But Philo borrowed also Platonic elements in designating the Logos as the " idea of ideas " and the " archetypal idea ".

11 ; these ideas were further developed by later Judaism in the doctrines of the Divine Word creating the world, the divine throne-chariot and its cherub, the divine splendor and its shekinah, and the name of God as well as the names of the angels ; and Philo borrowed from all these in elaborating his doctrine of the Logos.

From Alexandrian theology Philo borrowed the idea of wisdom as the mediator ; he thereby somewhat confused his doctrine of the Logos, regarding wisdom as the higher principle from which the Logos proceeds, and again coordinating it with the latter.

* Philo, in connecting his doctrine of the Logos with Scripture, first of all bases on Gen. i. 27 the relation of the Logos to God.

As the operative principle of the world, to them, the Logos was anima mundi, a concept which later influenced Philo of Alexandria, although he derived the contents of the term from Plato.

Philo ( 20 BC – 50 AD ), a Hellenized Jew, used the term Logos to mean an intermediary divine being, or demiurge.

The Logos was the highest of these intermediary beings, and was called by Philo " the first-born of God.

In particular, the Angel of the Lord in the Hebrew Bible ( Old Testament ) was identified with the Logos by Philo, who also said that the Logos was God's instrument in the creation of the universe.

The Christian concept of the Logos is derived from the first chapter of the Gospel of John, where the Logos ( often translated as “ Word ”) is described in terms that resemble, but likely surpass, the ideas of Philo:

Like Philo, Justin also identified the Logos with the Angel of the Lord, and used this as a way of arguing for Christianity to Jews:

As with Philo the Logos is the original image of man, or the original man, so in the Zohar the heavenly man is the embodiment of all divine manifestations: the Ten Sefirot, the original image of man.

With Philo the original man is an idea ; with Paul He is the pre-existent Logos, incarnate as the man Jesus Christ.

The term " Logos " was used in Greek philosophy ( see Heraclitus ) and in Hellenistic Jewish religious writing ( see Philo Judaeus of Alexandria ) to mean the ultimate ordering principle of the universe.
