jews and philosophy

jews philosophers :

Alexander was a jew , and he is so sacred to jews, and to some of them Greek philosophers are considered prophets.

The story of Alexander and the Jewish myth:

some consider him the hero who was accompanied by philosophers in his wars .
His teacher was Aristotelis ; some even mix between his story and that of Moses, some say he was the cook, some say it was Alexander and his cook who searched for the sea of immortality, his cook found it and had immortality .
Other stories say that Alexander 's cook had the dolphine wih him and when it touched water it came back to life (jews believe in reincarnation ).

They say Alexander had the title King of two horns because he was taugtht the bottom and outer knoweldge simbolizing ruling the world east and west. Story of yagog and magog: jew say it's the Dam built by Alexander probably at Khazar sea. (Armenia-Urarat).

Jews had a great role in the spreading of Greek philosophy.

BY 3rd century when east and west philosiophy met and spread especially in Alexandria; at that time jews searched in this philosophy what sustains their beliefs , in clash with hellenic philosophy that spread then.
Some as Hermis and Aristopolis tried to mingle between philosophy and religion .
Philon (25 B.C,) assured that truth could be attained by mingling jewish belief and Platonic philosophy as plato had reached the truth ; so did new Aplatonic philosophy in Alexandria 203 A.D. that explained Judism philosphiclly.
