- Title
WĄTKI FILOZOFICZNE W LIŚCIE ARYSTEASZA DO FILOKRATESA.
- Authors
BARAN, KS. GRZEGORZ M.
- Abstract
Analyzing the content of the Letter of Aristeas to Philocrates, one can notice that it contains many philosophical threads. First of all, the description of the Mosaic Law as “very philosophical” deserves particular attention. The author of the Letter showed that the Law is in no way inferior to the Greek philosophical tradition, because, like Greek philosophy, the Law gives the possibility of achieving virtue. Hence, a person who studies the Law, who knows its content, and is guided by its norms is a noble man who fully deserves to be called a philosopher. Studying the Law, being guided by it, therefore, means practicing philosophy. The proprium that resounds in the Letter is a constant reference to God of the Old Testament as the source of all good and a “norm” of its kind.
