“For the Greeks, #sophrosyne represented excellence of character, moderation and self-control. It was connected to #phronesis, or practical wisdom, ... I believe sophrosyne is still essential for the good life, the life of #eudaimonia – happiness and human flourishing. It’s not a transitory feeling, but a sense of being your best self. This involves a kind of satisfaction that is not possible without self-knowledge and self-control. What’s more, it requires the ability to discriminate between the good and the bad, the true and the false – capacities that are not inborn, but learned through steady practice. Without sophrosyne, it may not be possible to discern what is good for yourself or others.”

Why sophrosyne, an ancient Greek virtue, matters more than ever in the age of AI

For the Greeks, sophrosyne was an ideal second to none. It’s just as important today, in an age of internet addiction and misinformation – but harder to come by.

The Shape of a Life Well-Lived

Kisah filosofis ini mengajarkan bahwa hidup ideal bukan sekadar tujuan, tetapi kualitas dalam perjalanan. Ini melibatkan akar yang dalam, tindakan kebaikan, pengertian akan kekosongan, keseimbangan antara ekstrem, cinta yang membangun, makna dalam penderitaan, dan kesadaran akan momen saat ini. Teruslah hidup, seperti aliran sungai.

>>In the era of late capitalism, our autonomous agency has increasingly been expressed through our status as consumers. Freedom is above all the choice of how to spend our money, with the promise that everything we need can be obtained in exchange for cash. The consumer mindset has affected how we relate to everything, not just the things we buy. The result is that the world has become essentially transactional, meaning that everything is an instrument for getting something else. <<

The most coherent Greek‑philosophical combo for prosocial misanthropy is:

#Eudaimonia + #Arete + #Xenia + #Phronesis + #Sophrosyne

#Aristotle had terms to describe the root of functioning ethics. #Eudaimonia and #Ergon.
Aristotle's concept of #ethics as the human function is the excellent exercise of the intellect.
"A "good" human is one who performs this rational function well."
Republicans fail in this test by epic proportion. One can simply read #MAGA poetry, if you can find any, to confirm this truth.

Eudaimonia: Kebahagiaan yang Bukan Sekadar Kesenangan

Pemikir Cerdas

Il filosofo che aveva previsto gli atomi. Democrito, il pensatore presocratico non si limitò a teorizzare la materia invisibile. 2.400 anni fa, offrì una diagnosi sorprendentemente attuale sulla gestione del tempo e sulla tendenza umana a sacrificare il presente. Un’epoca priva di orologi, calendari digitali o notifiche, un uomo analizzò il concetto di tempo in modo talmente lucido da risultare ancora oggi...
