About the Book

English summary: Philo of Alexandria was the first Middle Platonic thinker whose writings have largely survived. Otto Kaiser introduces the reader to his life, work and writings based on the extant manuscripts. Philo of Alexandria is one of the most important figures in the history of Hellenic culture. His writings are an essential source of information on Hellenic and Stoic philosophy, much of which was subsequently lost. His importance to the history of theology rests on the fact that he was the first author to write about the Pentateuch based on the writings of the Greek philosophers available to him. His works also reflect his knowledge of the thoughts of the empirical scientists of his time. Otto Kaiser introduces the reader to the life, work and writings of Philo based on the extant works of Philo as well as of many other ancient writers. German description: Philo von Alexandrien nimmt eine Schlusselstellung in der hellenistischen Geistesgeschichte ein, weil er der erste mittelplatonische Denker gewesen ist, dessen Schriften zum grossten Teil uberliefert sind. Seine Schriften sind daruber hinaus eine unentbehrliche Quelle fur die hellenistische und stoische Philosophie, deren Werke nicht erhalten sind. Seine theologiegeschichtliche Bedeutung beruht darauf, dass er sich als Erster bei seinen Auslegungen der Funft Bucher Mose zur Welt- und Existenzerhellung der ihm vorliegenden Schriften der griechischen Philosophen und der zu seiner Zeit geltenden Ansichten der empirischen Wissenschaften bedient hat. Da es in deutscher Sprache keine dem derzeitigen Forschungsstand entsprechende Einfuhrung in sein Leben und Denken gibt, hat Kaiser eine solche erarbeitet. Sie unterscheidet sich von ihren Vorgangern dadurch, dass sie sich nicht auf die Vorstellung seiner exegetischen Methode und ihrer Ergebnisse beschrankt, sondern nach einer knappen Einfuhrung in sein Leben und seine Schriften seine geographische, soziale und biologische Lebenswelt unter Ruckgriff auf in dieser Beziehung relevante antike Texte behandelt. Anschliessend wird seine den heutigen Leser befremdende, aber damals in der stoischen Homerexegese ubliche allegorische Methode an ausgewahlten Beispielen vorgestellt. Im Ruckblick zeigt es sich, dass Philo ein ebenso menschlicher wie frommer Denker gewesen ist, dessen Glaube an den Gott, der die Welt geschaffen hat und lenkt und der zugleich der Gott ist, der Israel erwahlt hat und der Gott jedes einzelnen Menschen ist, das Mithin besitzen die von Philo behandelten Probleme des Glaubens an Gott, des Gehorsams gegen seine Gebote und des richtigen Lebens mutatis mutandis auch heute noch ihre Relevanz.
