The Reception of Wolfson's Philo in Philonic Scholarship.
In 1947, Harry Austryn Wolfson caused a sensation in the world of Philonic studies when he published his two magisterial volumes on Philo's thought. For decades, his distinctive interpretation of Philo's achievement was included in every survey of views on the Alexandrian. Yet, from the start, Wolfs...

For decades, his distinctive interpretation of Philo's achievement was included in every survey of views on the Alexandrian. Yet, from the start, Wolfson's extremely systematic approach, based on an idiosyncratic methodology, failed to gain widespread acceptance. As Philonic studies progressed, the limitations of Wolfson's work became more apparent. His disregard for the formal aspect of Philo's writings and his failure to contextualize Philo within the philosophical landscape of his time increasingly undermined the study's credibility. Consequently, the actual influence of Wolfson's study on the course of Philonic studies has remained quite limited. Nevertheless, his study contains valuable insights and remains a potentially useful resource for research. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Aleph: Historical Studies in Science & Judaism is the property of Indiana University Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
