Il "De Josepho" di Filone D'Alessandria

This third conference in the series “Lectures on Philo” focuses on De Josepho. Philo turns his thought here to politics, seeing, in Joseph, the shepherd of the people, an ideal model of government and the wise person’s right relation to institutions. Once again, using Philo’s work as a point of departure, the dialogical dimension the author offers – especially the interreligious one – will be explored in-depth. And Joseph opens the spectrum still further, to explore mysticism and modernity, through psychoanalysis and dream interpretation, as well as this figure’s role in the Islamic tradition.
