The early philosophers, like Socrates, pursued wisdom through wondering, questioning, discussing, and reflecting upon themselves, others, society, nature, ideas, and everything else.

“There are nowadays professors of philosophy, but not philosophers. Yet it is admirable to profess because it was once admirable to live. To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, nor even to found a school, but to so love wisdom as to live according to its dictates, a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity, and trust. It is to solve some of the problems of life, not only theoretically, but practically.” – Henry David Thoreau
