Two of Judaism's greatest philosophers were Philo of Alexandria (c. 20BCE-50CE) and Saadia ben Joseph (882-942). As the first, who in fluenced the development of Christian dogma, is the only Jewish Hellenistic philosopher from whom a body of work has survived, and the second can be considered the father of medieval Jewish philosophy, a comparison is of import.
