Welcome to the Examined Life website.
There
is a demand for wisdom that only philosophy can provide.
Socrates
famously said that the unexamined life is not worth living. Nothing in the past
two and a half thousand years has contradicted this insight.
Living
the examined life enables us to achieve and maintain
intellectual, ethical, spiritual, emotional and physical awareness.
It generates personal insights, reflection and new internal
perspectives, initiates and encourages conscious ethical living as everyday
habit.
The
Examined Life concept returns philosophy to its ancient roots by
combining wisdom and practice to help you to live
what practical philosophy calls the ‘good life’ which in turn is vitally
connected to ‘good society’.
You
don’t have to go on a retreat, or become a hermit on a mountain top. The
practice of the examined life creates the inner space and opportunity for
observation, reflection and contemplation and thus the path to conscious
ethical living as every day habit.
The
Examined Life Institute’s mission is to facilitate the practice of conscious
ethical living as a means towards a meaningful and purposeful life.
