על שכל אדם ישר הוא בן חוריןEvery Good Man is Free
Every Good Man is Free is an ancient philosophical work by Philo of Alexandria. A believer in both philosophy and the Bible, and that the two sources convey the same wisdom, Philo’s primary goal in this work is to prove the Stoic view that “the wise man alone is free” (i.e., follows God willingly), and he uses biblical as well as secular examples to support his points. The present English translation from the original Greek, by F.H. Colson and G.H. Whitaker, includes an introduction, with an analytical overview of the work, and endnotes.Every Good Man is Free is an ancient philosophical work by Philo of Alexandria.
