Live an Examined Life

Philosopical Exercises

Philosophies aren’t meant to be discussed as an idle pastime. Philosophers seek wisdom to live better. Philosophers across many traditions have offered therapeutic exercises to help people incorporate philosophical ideas into their lives. Genuinely understanding a philosophical idea means perceiving the world in a new way. Each month, we will focus on an exercise related to the topic of our discussion. Try it out to see if it helps you live according to what you think is most important.
