Abstract
Clement of Alexandria (c. 150–215) is the author of a first system of Christian Platonism. Its principle is that of divine and human freedom. Drawing on Stoicism and Platonism, which he views as the pagans' Old Covenant with God, he defines human freedom as the soul's ability to give or refuse to give its assent to an affect. It is given to man by God who is both transcendent unity and benevolent intellect seeking to save man in his philosophical and biblical revelation, culminating in the incarnation of his Word in Christ, the teacher of humankind.
