Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Written in the early first century CE (c. 20-40 CE), while the Second Temple in Jerusalem still stood, On the Creation represents one of the last complete expressions of Jewish philosophical thought before the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE and the emergence of rabbinic Judaism.In this fo…undational work, Philo of Alexandria-a Jewish thinker living in the Hellenistic world of Roman Alexandria-reads the Book of Genesis as a rational account of cosmic order, law, and meaning. Creation is not treated as myth or chronology, but as an act of divine intelligence in which cosmos, law, number, and the human soul form a single intelligible structure.This is a pre-rabbinic text. It speaks from within a Judaism still centered on Temple worship, priesthood, sacrifice, sacred calendar, and sacred space. Law is not yet portable commentary; it is lived order. Worship is not primarily interpretation or study, but offering-embedded in blood, fire, ritual sequence, and cosmic rhythm. Philo's philosophical interpretations do not replace Temple practice; they presuppose it and seek to reveal its deeper rational and moral architecture.Drawing on Plato, the Stoics, and biblical tradition, Philo presents creation as a model for lawful life: the world is intelligible because it was thought before it was made, and the human being is capable of justice because the soul mirrors the same rational order that governs the cosmos.This translation by Jason Kassel, PhD preserves Philo's conceptual structure, metaphors, and philosophical cadence, offering modern readers access to a world of Jewish thought before exile, before rabbinic reconstruction, and before theology was separated from cosmology.On the Creation is essential reading for anyone interested in: - pre-rabbinic Judaism- Jewish philosophy before 70 CE- the relationship between law, cosmos, and reason- Hellenistic Judaism and the Temple world- the foundations of Western religious philosophyThis book does not explain Judaism after catastrophe.It shows what Jewish thought looked like before the rupture-when the world itself was still understood as ordered, meaningful, and readable.
