World Philosophy Day 17 November

[BidenPresident]

In a hyper-technologized world, the very concept of humanity is in constant evolution. What do we call human today? What do we continue to call human despite the obvious historical evolution and the uncertain future we face? Are we witnessing a transfiguration so radical that its own definition, in addition to the humanistic horizon, is outdated? How can we envisage the new figures of the human in the future?

Socrates???

Socrates never wrote anything, he is just a character in Plato's dialogues. So we don't really know where the philosophy of the historical Socrates ends and that of Plato begins.

I did read Sun Tzu! I just read through Meditations by Marcus Aurelius a few months ago

Sun Tzu makes an interesting comparison to Clausewitz when you read both.

You see it here in a movie. 'Sun Tzu' loses in the end.
