Our 'Irrational' Past | Thursday 14 Nov | Stephen Connelly, ÌÇÐÄTV Law | IAS Seminar Room C0.02 (Hybrid)
IAS Seminar Room (C0.02) - Zeeman Building

Talk title: Philo on Lawfulness and Conscience

Abstract:
In his Allegories of the Laws, Philo of Alexandria sets himself against the Hellenistic philosophers of his time (early C1st CE). The ‘pride’ of these philosophers, Philo claims, consists in having made pure reason the governor of the soul, and the philosopher governor of the rational city. Yet Philo’s aim is to justify his faith using the tools of Greco-Roman thought, and so, this talk will argue, rather than casting aside the prevailing ‘prideful’ conceptualisation of soul, Philo reconfigures the soul by internalising within it ethical ‘humiliation’. The paper examines a likely key source for this notion of humiliation, and follows through the consequences for Philo’s moral and legal theory.
