“Every person - whether Greek or Barbarian - who is in training for wisdom, leading a blameless, irreproachable life, chooses neither to commit injustice nor return it unto others, but to avoid the company of busybodies, and hold in contempt the places where they spend their time - courts, councils, marketplaces, assemblies - in short, every kind of meeting or reunion of thoughtless people. ... People such as these, who find their joy in virtue, celebrate a festival their whole life long.” PeopleKindPersonsLongWholeJoyCompanyVirtueReturnTrainingCourtMeetingsInjusticeWhole LifeCommitCelebrateGreekContemptCouncilFestivalsLong LifeMarketplaceAssemblyBarbariansReunionBlamelessBusybodies Author:Pierre Hadot
“One of the characteristics of the university is that it is made up of professors who train professors, or professionals training professionals. Education was this no longer directed toward people who were to be educated with a view to become fully developed human beings, but to specialists, in other that they might learn how to train other specialists. This is the danger of "Scholasticism," that philosophical tendency which began to be sketched at the end of antiquity, developed in the Middle Ages, and whose presence is still recognizable in philosophy today.” PeopleHumansMadeStillsEndsPhilosophyMightAgeTodayHuman BeingsViewsMiddleDangerTrainingPhilosophicalTrainUniversityTendenciesEducatedCharacteristicsProfessorsMiddle AgesAntiquitySpecialistsScholasticism Author:Pierre Hadot
