The article considers the influence of Greek philosophy on the ideas of the formation of the Hellenistic philosopher Philo of Alexandria. The object of study was the philosophical work of Philo. This study aimed to discover the ambiguity of the term logos as a central concept that defines in Philo's philosophy the relationship between God (the ideal creative teacher) and the world. In the works of Philo, the Logos appears as the highest, sub-divine, infinite power of the mind, which has no signs, but at the same time is identified with God. The transcendental nature of the Logos, embodied in the image of God's mind, in its paradoxical nature closely corresponds to holiness and higher wisdom. The research methodology is based on an interpretation that allows us to define the allegory and, therefore, the real meaning of Philo's philosophy, the central part of which is the philosophical reflection of the Holy Scriptures as the main source of education and the concept of Scripture, undergoing specific and simultaneously incomparable modifications. To identify these meanings, methods of systematization and hermeneutics are used. The result of the study is expressed in identifying various forms of embodiment and educational activity and the Logos.
