Philo’s Incomprehensible God and His Traces in Neoplatonism
Keywords:
Philo, God, Incomprehensibility, Neoplatonism, First Principle, Enneads
Abstract
Philo introduced into Greek Philosophy the idea of God’s absolute unlikeness with respect to his creatures, a thesis which implies that He is perfectly transcendent and consequently that He is without qualities (apoios) and that nothing can be predicated of Him except proprieties (idiotetes). Our aim is also to clarify that Philo’s consideration of God’s Nature is in the origen of Plotinus’ First Principle or One.Downloads
