Philo About The Contemplative Life: Or The Fourth Book Of The Treatise Concerning Virtues (1895) is a philosophical treatise by Philo, a Jewish philosopher from Alexandria, Egypt. The book focuses on the concept of the contemplative life, which Philo defines as a life of intellectual and spiritual contemplation, free from the distractions of the material world. Philo argues that the contemplative life is the highest form of human existence, and that it is the ultimate goal of human striving. He explores the various virtues that are necessary for the contemplative life, such as wisdom, self-control, and piety, and discusses the obstacles that can prevent individuals from achieving this state of being. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the contemplative life. Philo draws on a range of philosophical and religious traditions, including Greek philosophy, Jewish scripture, and Platonic thought, to develop his ideas about the contemplative life. Overall, Philo About The Contemplative Life: Or The Fourth Book Of The Treatise Concerning Virtues (1895) is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the nature of human existence and the pursuit of spiritual enlightenment. It offers a unique perspective on the role of contemplation in human life, and provides valuable insights into the virtues that are necessary for a fulfilling and meaningful existence.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
