About the Book

English summary: The Jewish author Philo of Alexandria (d. c. 50 CE) left behind an extensive body of writings in the Greek language, of which a larger number are biblical exegetical works and a smaller number are philosophical treatises. One of his main intellectual pursuits was the combination of biblical exegesis and philosophy, which can been seen in tracts like "The Life of a Statesman or On Joseph." Philo offered a philosophical re-imagining of the biblical narrative of Joseph, in which Joseph is viewed as a type of Hellenistic ruler. In this reimagining, he presents three digressions from the main narrative to consider issues of the ethics and self-understanding of a politician in a democratically established city-state. What emerges from these considerations is a political philosophy about the two types of ancient statesmen, one who rules a territory and the other active in the polis, both of whom must consider questions of justice and the proper execution of their public offices. Philo's Joseph-commentary is the only ancient work that offers a comparison between these two types of politicians, and constitutes an important contribution to ancient political thought. The only German translation of Philo's Joseph commentary was produced in 1909. In this new, modernized German translation, Lang offers an extensive introduction, a glossary of Philo's chief concepts and as well as the first commentary on this work. Philo's "On Joseph" is presented here for the first time in a new edition which will be of interest to both scholars and general readers interested in the literature and philosophy of the ancient world. German description: Der judische Schriftsteller Philo von Alexandrien (gest. ca. 50 n. Chr.) hat ein umfangreiches Werk in griechischer Sprache hinterlassen. Einer grosseren Zahl bibelexegetischer Werke steht eine kleinere Zahl philosophischer Abhandlungen gegenuber. Bibelexegese und Philosophie kann er auch verbinden. Das geschieht in dem kleinen Traktat "Das Leben eines Politikers oder uber Josef". Philo bietet eine philosophische Nacherzahlung der biblischen Josefsgeschichte, in der Josef als eine Art hellenistischer Herrscher erscheint. In die Nacherzahlung stellt er drei Exkurse ein; sie bilden eine mit der Nacherzahlung nur lose verknupfte Abhandlung uber Ethos und Selbstverstandnis des Politikers in einer demokratisch verfassten antiken Polis. Auf diese Weise entsteht eine staatsphilosophische Schrift uber die beiden Typen des antiken Politikers - des Herrschers uber ein Territorium und des in der Polis tatigen, sich mit Fragen der Justiz und der Verwaltung beschaftigenden Beamten. Tatsachlich ist Philos Josefsschrift das einzige antike Werk, das diese beiden Typen des Politikers gleichzeitig behandelt. Auf diese Weise leistet Philo einen profilierten Beitrag zur antiken politischen Philosophie.Die einzige deutsche Ubersetzung von Philos Josefsschrift stammt aus dem Jahr 1909. Lang bietet eine ausfuhrliche Einleitung, ein Glossar philonischer Grundbegriffe, eine neue, in lesbarer Sprache gehaltene Ubersetzung sowie den ersten Kommentar zu diesem Werk. Philos Josefsschrift wird hier erstmals umfassend erschlossen - sowohl fur den interessierten Leser als auch fur den Kenner antiker Literatur.
About the Author: Dr. theol. Bernhard Lang ist freier Autor und Honorarprofessor an der Universitat Aarhus.
