The Philosophy of Philo of Alexandria: Bridging Worlds

2025/11/15

We’re talking about a philosopher you’ve probably never heard of, living in a city that no longer exists, writing in a language most of us can’t read, about 2,000 years ago. And yet—and this is what blows my mind—his ideas are everywhere around you. In the Gospel of John. In Christian theology. In how we think about the relationship between faith and reason. In our very concept of the divine Word.Look at this subtitle: “Bridging Worlds.” That’s not just poetic language. That’s literally what Philo

You’ve heard of Hippocrates, right? “Father of Medicine.” Maybe you know about the Hippocratic Oath - doctors still swear some version of it today. But here’s what nobody tells you: this guy didn’t just invent some medical techniques. He fundamentally transformed how human beings understand reality itself. Think about this for a second.

2025/11/13

“China’s First Consequentialist Thinker.” Now, that’s a loaded phrase. We’re talking about someone who, over two thousand years ago, developed an ethical framework that judges actions based on their outcomes - their consequences - rather than on adherence to tradition or ritual. This is remarkable because in the Western philosophical tradition, we don’t see consequentialism fully articulated until Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill in the 18th and 19th centuries. But here’s Mozi, doing this in

Alright, I want you to imagine something with me. It’s the 5th century BCE. You’re living in a world where everything—and I mean everything—gets explained by gods. Thunder? Zeus is angry. Earthquake?

Each of you carries within yourself a moral compass, shaped by family, culture, religion, and personal experience. But have you ever stopped to ask: Where did these beliefs come from?
