Right, but how do you intend to go about that?
As a side note: philosophy was intended to do many things at its beginning. I am a firm believer that Socrates was just a really good sophist
I personally ascribe to the teachings of Stoicism.
Wasn't Sophism one of the charges levelled at Socrates.
Yes it was, however, he vehemently denies it.
If you live around the NY are you might be interested researching CUNY,;there is a professor there who is really into Stoicism
Massimo Pigliucci? If so, I have heard of him and I read his blog How to Be a Stoic.
good shit, i havent read anything by him. A friend of mine reccomended him to me
