Philo On The Contemplative Gnostic Life (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162845739)

Philo On The Contemplative Gnostic Life is a book by G.R.S. Mead that explores the philosophy and teachings of Philo of Alexandria, a Hellenistic Jewish philosopher who lived in the first century CE. The book focuses on Philo's ideas about the contemplative life and the pursuit of knowledge, which he believed were essential for attaining a deeper understanding of the divine. Mead provides a detailed analysis of Philo's writings and argues that his ideas are still relevant today, particularly in the context of modern spirituality and the search for meaning in life. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in ancient philosophy, mysticism, and the history of religion.THIS 26 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Fragments of a Faith Forgotten, by G.
