Description

Explore the philosophical foundations of language theory during the late Hellenistic and early Imperial periods (50 B.C. - 300 A.D.) in this scholarly examination of how theologians and philosophers in Ancient Alexandria understood the relationship between words, meaning, and mind. This Routledge publication traces the intellectual developments that emerged as Judaism and Christianity flourished within the Roman Empire's cultural centres, revealing how Alexandria's philosophical vitality shaped linguistic thought. The study integrates Later Greek philosophy with Church Father traditions, demonstrating the theological and intellectual richness of this transformative era when concepts of language, interpretation, and consciousness were fundamentally reconsidered by some of history's most influential thinkers.

Key Features

Examines language philosophy spanning from Philo through Plotinus, tracing intellectual development across three centuries of Alexandrian thought.

Integrates Later Greek philosophical traditions with early Church Fathers, bridging secular and theological approaches to language and meaning.

Published by Routledge, a leading academic press specialising in rigorous historical and philosophical scholarship.

Focuses on the late Hellenistic and early Imperial periods when Alexandria served as a vital centre for cultural and intellectual exchange.

Explores how Judaism and Christianity's growth in the Roman Empire influenced philosophical understandings of language and interpretation.
