In his monumental study of Philo of Alexandria (1947), Harry A. Wolfson argued that the philosophical method developed by Philo, in which Greek philosophy and Scripture are combined, served as the model for Christian, Jewish and Islamic thinkers until the time of Spinoza. This book, through an examination of the thought of Philo, Maimonides and Aquinas, confirms Wolfson's thesis.

For Thomas Aquinas the ontological and ethical orders are not autonomous but inseparable. This book shows how traditional Natural Law was transformed by thinkers like John Locke and Kant into a doctrine compatible with early modern and modern notions of nature and morality.
