Philosophy is a mode of life, an act of living, and a way of being. Modern philosophy has forgotten this tradition, and philosophical discourse has all but overtaken philosophy as a way of life. Philosophy is not just an intellectual discipline, which can get abstract and divorced from the real world, but is most importantly a way of life that teaches us how to best live our lives.
Philosophy is a mode of existing in the world, which has to be practiced at each instant, and the goal of which is to transform the whole of the individual’s life. Real wisdom does not merely cause us to know: it makes us “be” in a different way.
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.

Thank you for this video! Always excited when I see a new upload
"Philosophy is a mode of life" … I strongly disagree. Philosophy is a kind of thinking. It is thinking about how you think (meta-thinking). It is the thinking behind the conclusions you base your decisions on !
Another spectacular video! Are you aware of John Vervaeke's new series? It is called "After Socrates", and here is the first one:
