商品簡介
In the Biblical model, God first creates the world, then intervenes often in it; in the Platonic model, God is a distant and unchanging abstraction. Calabi (philosophy in late antiquity, U. of Pavia) argues that Hellenistic Jewish philosopher Philo (20BC-50AD) drew from both, and celebrated the contradiction between them as fertile and complex, and a model for humans.
