Setting his exposition in the context of Middle-Platonic moral psychology, this dissertation answers two fundamental questions: First, what, in Philo's view, does the Tenth Commandment prohibit? (All desire? A certain type? What type?) Second, how, in Philo's view, is the Tenth Commandment observed? (What are the mechanics of its observance? What role do the dietary laws play in its observance?)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Duke Philo, Hans Svebakken\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1589836189\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781589836181\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Society of Biblical Literature\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/11\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.57d","brand":"Charles Duke Philo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45331802292479,"sku":"9781589836181","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e4e2c2f9-9581-487b-82d2-36c7c9095b23.jpg?v=1713970932","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/philo-of-alexandrias-exposition-of-charles-duke-philo-9781589836181","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
