EIGHT WAYS PHILOSOPHY CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE
Healing Vain is the word of a philosopher which does not heal any suffering of man. For just as there is no profit in medicine if it does not expel the diseases of the body, so there is no profit in philosophy either, if it does not expel the suffering of the mind.
---Epicurus
Flourishing Having understood how human lives are diseased, a philosopher worthy of the name - like a doctor worthy of that name - will proceed to try to cure them. The whole point of medical research is cure. So, too, the whole point of philosophy is human flourishing.
- Martha Nussbaum
Attaining In the immeasurable expanses of time, you see how life moves onward and upward from infusoria to man, and you cannot deny that infinite possibilities for further perfection still await humankind.
