For example, Philo renders Platonism, Stoi- cism, and Judaism to a large extent complementary, and so tries to eliminate the imperfections of each. His plan of salvation is better than that of his predecessors just on this account. Moreover, he represents a most important, and in later times a most influential, phase in the evolution of religious thought.^ His philosophy is not artificial, again, because it ministered to certain needs, and because, more than any other, it indicated the high-water mark of pre-Christian thought concern- ing the graver questions of religion.^ No doubt there is a sense in which Philo's want of system may be most reasonably urged.^ He does not work out any archi- tectonic of salvation, — the very fervour of his idealism prevented this.
