The examined life: outline of a neo-socratic argument

Abstract

Socrates famously proclaimed in his Apology that the unexamined life is not worth living. More precisely, he claimed that 'to let no day pass without discussing goodness and all the other subjects about which you hear me talking and examining both myself and others is really the very best thing that a man can do, and that life without this sort of examination is not worth living
