Theophilos Corydalleus (/kɔːrɪˈdæliəs/; Greek: Θεόφιλος Κορυδαλλεύς, romanizedTheofilos Korydallefs; 1574–1646) was a Greek Neo-Aristotelian philosopher who initiated the philosophical movement known as Korydalism or Corydalism. He was also an Eastern Orthodox cleric (Metropolitan of Nafpaktos), physician, physicist, astronomer, mathematician, author, educator and geographer. His philosophical thought kept influencing Greek education for two hundred years after its inception.
