“One could say that what differentiates ancient from modern philosophy is the fact that, in ancient philosophy, it was not only Chrysippus or Epicurus who, just because they had developed a philosophical discourse, were considered philosophers. Rather, every person who lived according to the precepts of Chrysippus or Epicurus was every bit as much a philosopher as they.” PersonsPhilosophyFactsBitsModernPhilosophicalAncientPhilosopherDiscourseDifferentiateModern PhilosophyAncient Philosophy Author:Pierre Hadot
“Ancient philosophy proposed to mankind an art of living. By contrast, modern philosophy appears above all as the construction of a technical jargon reserved for specialists.” ArtPhilosophyModernMankindAncientConstructionContrastReservedSpecialistsArt Of LivingJargonModern PhilosophyAncient Philosophy Author:Pierre Hadot
