“Philosophy - reduced, as we have seen, to philosophical discourse - develops from this point on in a different atmosphere and environment from that of ancient philosophy. In modern university philosophy, philosophy is obviously no longer a way of life, or a form of life - unless it be the form of life of a professor of philosophy.” WayDifferentPhilosophyFormEnvironmentModernPhilosophicalUniversityAncientAtmosphereProfessorsDiscourseAncient Philosophy 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
