The Centre for Comparative Studies of Civilisations and Spiritualities is organising a day of\u00a0study devoted to Philo of Alexandria, in collaboration with Giuseppe Balzano (University of\u00a0Brussels and director of Beit Venezia, Casa della Cultura Ebraica). Philo of Alexandria (c. 20\u00a0BC \u2013 c. AD 45) developed his complex philosophy after studying and crossing over various\u00a0religious and philosophical traditions. His Platonic interpretation of the Bible laid the foundations for the encounter between Greek philosophy, Judaism and Christianity. The Logos as\u00a0a philosophical concept and a religious notion is undoubtedly the most original feature in\u00a0this monumental work. The study day sets out to explore how the central role of language in\u00a0Philo\u2019s thinking, his \u201clogocentrism\u201d, came to influence subsequent monotheistic philosophical\u00a0traditions. One of the most original aspects of this study day will be the special focus on Philo\u00a0of Alexandria\u2019s influence on Islam.<\/p>\n
