📖 Clement of Alexandria / Titus Flavius Clemens / Κλήμης ὁ Ἀλεξανδρεύς /...

"WHEN LIES HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED FOR SOME TIME, THE TRUTH ALWAYS ASTOUNDS WITH AN AIR OF NOVELTY." CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA WAS A CHRISTIAN THEOLOGIAN AND PHILOSOPHER. A CONVERT TO CHRISTIANITY, HE WAS AN EDUCATED MAN WHO WAS FAMILIAR WITH CLASSICAL GREEK PHILOSOPHY AND LITERATURE. AS HIS THREE MAJOR WORKS DEMONSTRATE, CLEMENT WAS INFLUENCED BY HELLENISTIC PHILOSOPHY TO A GREATER EXTENT THAN ANY OTHER CHRISTIAN THINKER OF HIS TIME, AND IN PARTICULAR, BY PLATO AND THE STOICS. HIS SECRET WORKS, WHICH EXIST ONLY IN FRAGMENTS, SUGGEST THAT HE WAS FAMILIAR WITH PRE-CHRISTIAN JEWISH ESOTERICISM AND GNOSTICISM AS WELL. CLEMENT IS USUALLY REGARDED AS A CHURCH FATHER. #philosophy #universalism #innabesedina #gnosis #knowledge #theology #moralphilosophy #ethics #quotes #education #wisdom #philosophical #thoughts #philosophicalthoughts #philosophicalquotes #selfgrowth #selfdevelopment #selfimprovement #selfgrowthquotes #philosophicaltheology #faith #theological #theologicalthoughts #clementofalexandria #christiantheology #creation #educational #philosophyofreligion #educationalvideo
