  • Summary

    The tripartite division of Mosaic philosophy into ethics, physics, and epoptics, mentioned in Stromateis 1.28.176, corresponds to Clement’s project of Christian philosophy, as outlined and partly pursued in that treatise. Clement integrates this division, obviously inspired by a Platonist model, into a larger programme of Christian education, adumbrated in the Paedagogus, whose first, pre-doctrinal part is practical. By doing so, he creates, within the context of the church and—arguably—its catechetic school in Alexandria, a coherent and powerful alternative to other similar programmes on the religio-intellectual market of his time.
