Relationship of Religion and Philosophy in the view of Philo of Alexandria and Abdollah Javadi Amoli
Abstract
Ayatollah Javadi Amoli's position in Iran after the revolution is very similar to that of the Jewish Philo in Alexandria in the first century AD; In a way that can and should be the root of many of the great ideas of both philosophers in their social conditions; Because a person's way of thinking cannot be unrelated to his or her social status. But in the meantime, Alexandria, due to its time precedence and diverse cultural arrangement, has been the origin of the first historical sparks in questioning the relationship between religion and philosophy; And again, in the meantime, the position of Philo of Alexandria has been very significant. Philo's interest in Greek culture and philosophy, on the one hand, and his attribution to the Hebrew tradition and Judaism, on the other, led him to present a plan for the establishment of religious philosophy; The components of Philo's design are still considered by religious philosophers; In a way, a character like Javadi Ameli, who is 2,000 years away from Philo, has also used them in his collective plan; The summary of both plans is this: All the sciences in the breadest sense of the word _which particullarly includes philosophical teaching_ directly derive from revelation and teachings of the prophets (AS) or is referred to it. Finally it must be said that philosophers such Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, are payroll of great prophets such as Abraham and Moses.
