My Philosophy Guru | Mark Vernon:
Your recommended philosophy-guru is ARISTOTLE.
Key fact: The star pupil of Plato.
Must have: A desire to study the world and see what it reveals.
Key promise: The good life, which comes from living a virtuous life.
Key peril: The virtuous life can be tough.
Most likely to say: 'Everything has its proper place.'
Least likely to say: 'Science is where humanity went wrong.'"
Hat-tip to The Stroppy Rabbit: Zeno of Citium
Find out who your ancient Greek guru is.
Like the Stroppy Rabbit, I appear to be closest to a Stoic.
ReplyDeleteBizarre, especially since I really think we'd have all been in a better place without the Greek civilisations.
Saving your presence, of course. :)
Love,

I got stoic too. I can buy it, except for the turning my back on passion part. I'm all about passion.
ReplyDeleteEpicurus. I'll drink to that!
ReplyDeleteI too got Aristotle
ReplyDeleteI ended up an Epicurean, much to my surprise.
