 Another long article would be necessary to address the Christian reception of Philo. Many books and articles provide precious information on this point (Van den Hoek 1988; Runia 1993, 2009; Sterling 1998). Philo’s thought was used by the Christian fathers in many different ways. Their attitude towards him ranged from the passionate interest of Origen to the accurate attention of Clemens to the somewhat stubborn and hostile attitude of Ambrose, who in many places plagiarizes Philo. Today, Philo is included in the modern categories of “Middle Platonism” and, still more recent, “Middle Judaism”. In his case these expressions are meaningful. He spent his life “in the middle of” antagonistic cultures, violent conflicts, and contrasting philosophical and religious theories. His main legacy in philosophy was the idea that in the face of many harsh human attitudes, there were two complementary ways of remaining free and lucid. The main model was for him, as it was constantly asserted by Nikiprowetzky, the flight, not exactly the Platonic flight of the Theaetetus, but that of Exodus, both a spatial, historical, and vertical flight, the most perfect example of the presence of Transcendence in the world. While the cause of Abraham’s flight was his rejection of idolatry, Moses’ project was far more ambitious: not only to escape from Egypt, but to build a nation by giving it the Word of God as a constitution. But it must be added that there was for Philo also a kind of Exodus of words. He gathers concepts and themes of philosophy to free them, i.e., to bring them into the light of the God of the Torah. Like Moses who knew all the foreign sciences, Philo learned almost everything of philosophy, not in order to be a professional philosopher, but to demonstrate that the truth the Greeks looked for was where they did not imagine it to be. Philo’s conception of oudeneia, the human nothingness, had nothing to do with nihilism. It was the affirmation of the centrality of God instead of the centrality of the self. One could say that this was theology much more than philosophy. But, at the same time, it would be an error to say that philosophy remained the same before and after Philo.
