This book in your hands provides us with the first picture of our departure from what you read in books on the history of ancient philosophy in general and Greek philosophy in particular. It provides us with a history of the Alexandrian philosophical school as a new philosophical school that expresses a new era influenced by Greek philosophy. In this new era, Alexandria witnessed an unlimited revival of the ancient Egyptian philosophical heritage, represented by the Hermetic writings. It also witnessed the first appearance of the Jews and their philosophers on the intellectual scene, despite the fact that Judaism as a religion dates back to the fourteenth or fifteenth century BC, and Christian philosophy also appeared for the first time. Its figures express their interpretive vision of their new religion within a rational philosophical framework that attempts to interpret the verses of the Bible in a rational, symbolic manner.
