For Socrates, philosophy, was the study of how to lead one's life, and for Wittgenstein, `philosophy leaves everything as it is.' Throughout this book, the work of the ancients is set in the context of the most recent thinking about the nature and value of philosophy, and the author questions how much there is to be learnt from the ancient philosophers' differing conceptions of the ideal life.
`The freshest and most interesting aspect of the book is the plentiful reference to many contemporary philosophers ... who also deal with the issue discussed; thus the contemporary relevance of ancient philosophy is demonstrated.' Choice
