| Summary: | The ‘systematic philosophical allegory’ or ‘allegoresis’ - that is, the ‘possibility to say something, meaning something else, in order to express a deeper thought’ - presented itself within the stoicism milieu, and permitted the adoption of instruments of philosophical hermeneutics on poetical texts, in order to explain nature and the gods as expressions of further concepts. In the same way, the use of etymologies founded on the belief that language could reveal the original sense of words and reality, in reference to logos, understood as truth of the things. Allegoresis was adopted as hermeneutic praxis in the Alexandrine Judaism. In this context, the respect for the littera of the biblical text, as sacred writing, led to a mutual clarification between philosophy and Sacred Scripture, from which derived a richer understanding. |
