Philo had inferred from the expression, " Let us make man ," of Genesis that God had used other beings as assistants in the creation of man, and he explains in this way why man is capable of vice as well as virtue, ascribing the origin of the latter to God, of the former to His helpers in the work of creation.

Philo of Byzantium and Hero of Alexandria knew of the principle that certain substances, notably air, expand and contract and described a demonstration in which a closed tube partially filled with air had its end in a container of water.

* May – Philo Farnsworth of the United States transmits his first experimental electronic television pictures, as opposed to mechanical TV systems that others had tried before.

The earlier Megarian dialecticians – Diodorus Cronus and Philo – had done work in this field, and the pupils of Aristotle – Theophrastus and Eudemus – had investigated hypothetical syllogisms, but it was Chrysippus who developed these principles into a coherent system of propositional logic.

" The great Jewish philosopher Philo understands this type of prophecy to be an extraordinarily high level of philosophical understanding, which had been reached by Moses and which enabled him to write the Torah through his own rational deduction of natural law.

" Philo and Gunge had two episodes of the series devoted to them: " Home Is Where the Trash Is " and " Gunge the Great & Glorious ".

In describing his personality, Philo writes that Pilate had " vindictiveness and furious temper ", and was " naturally inflexible, a blend of self-will and relentlessness ".

He followed William Powell and Basil Rathbone portraying the series detective Philo Vance, a cosmopolitan New Yorker, once in 1935 in The Casino Murder Case, but his major role came in 1943's Watch on the Rhine, when he played a man working against the Nazis ( he had played the same role on Broadway in 1941 ).

He courageously tried to avoid allegorizing, which had had a long history ever since Philo of Alexandria had interpreted the Pentateuch in an allegorical fashion that de-literalized and over-metaphorized ( into symbolic systems ) many passages of the ancient manuscripts of the Bible ( now and developingly a critical text itself ).

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 came from an aristocratic family which had lived in Alexandria for generations.

Philo had two brothers Alexander the Alabarch and Lysimachus.

His ancestors and family had social ties and connections to the Priesthood in Judea ; Hasmonean Dynasty ; Herodian Dynasty and Julio-Claudian dynasty in Rome, though it is likely that Philo only visited the Temple in Jerusalem once in his lifetime.

Philo, through his brother Alexander, had two nephews Tiberius Julius Alexander and Marcus Julius Alexander.

He says that Philo agreed to represent the Alexandrian Jews in regard to civil disorder that had developed between the Jews and the Greeks in Alexandria ( Egypt ).

So Philo being thus affronted, went out, and said to those Jews who were about him, that they should be of good courage, since Gaius's words indeed showed anger at them, but in reality had already set God against himself.

Philo gives a detailed description of their sufferings, in a way that Josephus overlooks, to assert that the Alexandrian Jews were simply the victims of attacks by Alexandrian Greeks in the civil strife that had left many Jews and Greeks dead.

Speaking of the large Jewish population in Egypt, Philo says that Alexandria " had two classes of inhabitants, our own nation and the people of the country, and that the whole of Egypt was inhabited in the same manner, and that Jews who inhabited Alexandria and the rest of the country from the Catabathmos on the side of Libya to the boundaries of Ethiopia were not less than a million of men.

" Philo says that in response, the mobs " drove the Jews entirely out of four quarters, and crammed them all into a very small portion of one ... while the populace, overrunning their desolate houses, turned to plunder, and divided the booty among themselves as if they had obtained it in war.

The Jewish Bible had not been canonized at the time of Philo, and the extent of his knowledge of Biblical books cannot be exactly determined.

In the 6th century BC, Hecataeus of Miletus affirms that Phoenicia was formerly called χνα, a name that Philo of Byblos subsequently adopted into his mythology as his eponym for the Phoenicians: " Khna who was afterwards called Phoinix ".

The earliest extant use of the term monastērion is by the 1st century AD Jewish philosopher Philo in On The Contemplative Life, ch.

), the Greek term itself is not found in the Septuagint, Philo, Josephus, or in other Hellenistic Jewish writings.

Philo is known for being the first author to use the term archetype in his writings with the meaning of " the image of God in mankind " (" De Opificio Mundi ", 6 ).

There are reasons to think that De resurrectione is not by Athenagoras but by some 4th-century author, e. g. the use of at least one term ( ἀγαλματοφορέω ) coined by Philo of Alexandria and not widely known before the time of Origen.

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 term may apply specifically to a dissector tube employing magnetic fields to keep the electron image in focus, an element lacking in Dieckmann and Hell's design, and in the early dissector tubes built by American inventor Philo Farnsworth.

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.

* 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.

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

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 "

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.

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

Philo also wrote that " the Logos of the living God is the bond of everything, holding all things together and binding all the parts, and prevents them from being dissolved and separated.

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.
