About Us

Welcome to our philosophical community, where we challenge the traditional image of the philosopher sitting quietly in a library. In the ancient world, the greatest thinkers were not afraid to shake things up and engage with the world around them.

Socrates, one of the most famous philosophers in history, was known for going to the markets (Agorá) and engaging in conversations with people from all walks of life. He asked probing questions and challenged misconceptions, always striving to get to the truth. His method of questioning, known as the Socratic method, is still widely used in teaching and learning today. Socrates is also known for his belief in the importance of living a virtuous life and his famous saying “The unexamined life is not worth living,” emphasizing the value of self-reflection and critical thinking.

Plato, Socrates’ student, was not only a philosopher but also a strong advocate for the development of the mind and body. He believed that physical training was essential for a well-rounded education and founded the Academy in Athens, where students could study a variety of subjects and engage in regular exercise and physical activity.

Thales of Miletus, one of the earliest philosophers in the Western tradition, was another example of a philosopher who was not afraid to get his hands dirty. He is best known for his pioneering work in the field of natural philosophy and his prediction of a solar eclipse. In addition to his contributions to philosophy and science, Thales was also a successful businessman. He made a fortune by speculating on the price of olive oil, demonstrating the power of applied knowledge.

At our website, we strive to follow in the footsteps of these ancient philosophers. We believe that philosophy is not just an academic pursuit, but a way of life. We encourage our members to engage with the world around them, to ask questions, and to challenge their own assumptions.

Whether you are an experienced philosopher or just beginning your journey, we welcome you to our community. We hope you will find it a place where you can learn, grow and engage in meaningful conversation with like-minded friends.
