Zyzek, Kacper2026-03-092026-03-092013Seminare, 2013, Tom 34, s. 11-20.1232-8766https://theo-logos.pl/handle/123456789/42491Philo of Alexandria interpreted Genesis 6:1–4 by means of his chosen method, the allegory. In this way, the passage takes on a significantly different meaning from the literal one, one rather closer to the overall thought of the philosopher. The interpretation concerns ethics more than angelology, stressing the benefits of choosing the logos and the damages of rejecting it. Angels then, in accordance with the Stoic demonology, denote souls, daughters of men ‒ various low passions, and giants ‒ those who are immersed in the pleasures of the flesh. Such a reading of this difficult Genesis passage is absolutely unique in the history of exegesis.polCC-BY-ND - Uznanie autorstwa - Bez utworów zależnychFilon AleksandryjskiRdz 61-4demonologiafilozofiafilozofia starożytnafilozofia żydowskaegzegeza alegorycznakomentarze biblijnekomentarze alegorycznebiblijne komentarze alegoryczneegzegezaegzegeza biblijnabiblijna egzegeza alegorycznaalegoriaBibliaPismo ŚwięteStary TestamentKsięga Rodzajuteologiateologia biblijnabiblistykaPhilo of AlexandriaGen 6:1-4demonologyphilosophyancient philosophyJewish philosophyallegorical exegesisbiblical commentariesallegorical commentariesbiblical allegorical commentariesexegesisbiblical exegesisbiblical allegorical exegesisallegoryBibleOld TestamentGen 6Book of Genesistheologybiblical theologybiblical studiesArticle
