I took the short questionnaire to discover my ancient Athenian guru:
Your recommended philosophy-guru is ARISTOTLE.
Key fact: The star pupil of Plato.
Must have: A desire to study the world and see what it reveals.
Key promise: The good life, which comes from living a virtuous life.
Key peril: The virtuous life can be tough.
Most likely to say: “Everything has its proper place.”
Least likely to say: “Science is where humanity went wrong.”
Not sure the mirror was such a good idea.
Do you have a one track mind?
Epicurus for me which is a shame a I had already prepared my barrel!
Maybe it is time to change your philosophy
Zeno of Cintium, “founder of Stoicism” is my man, apparently. Hmmm. I don’t know much about him other than some stuff about the universe being conscious and Pantheism … and his stoicism…Interesting, the questionnaire might be on to something, I have had a lot to be stoical about, at times…. I will investigate
Zeno is not one I am familiar with, but I just checked out the vid. Interesting
Mine is this:
Your recommended philosophy-guru is ZENO OF CITIUM.
Key fact: He taught in a stoa, the Athenian supermarket, and hence founded the school of philosophy called Stoicism.
Must have: An interest in everyday life, for it is there that you learn life’s big lessons.
Key promise: An ability to face anything, no matter how disastrous.
Key peril: To be “stoical” is to turn your back on passion.
Most likely to say: “If you have integrity, no-one can harm you.”
Least likely to say: “Forget prudence! It won’t help you anyway.”
I see you are in good company with H.
I think there is something to be learned from all the philosophers.
Another Zeno of Citium here CP, maybe we should start a “Zeno” club, although if we all thought the same way it wouldn’t be very “interesting”:)
Feel free although do I get a friends pass into the club for hosting it
Such fun! Turns out I’m ‘Epicurious’. Thank-you for the link!!!
I am glad you found it fun
I assumed my (our) Zeno was Zeno of Zeno’s Paradox, but apparently that was Zeno of Elia. I also notice some sites call my Zeno Zeno of Cintium and others Zeno of Citium. How many Zenos were there? Multiple Zenos in multiple worlds? Further investigation warranted by the growing Zeno club.
Zeno was a completely new one on me
Add one more to the Zeno club…some of it is applicable and some not at all.
It is interesting to see which category people fall into
I am the same as Marcie and it fits quite well
Mine is mostly correct for me
Ha ha! How come everyone is in Zeno?
Come and join us.
You can be the president!
I’d rather be the janitor. Ha ha…
I sense a takeover coming on
