The heart of philosophy seems to be to find the truly good life. A life marked by beauty and truth - 'living with a lucid happiness', facing reality head on in an ever changing present.
To reach this, toil is needed. Wisdom is given to 'those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil'.
Hebrews 5 vs 14.
The examined life of the philosophers, producing an ever moving stream of clear water to sustain the lives of others in their need.
The truly beautiful, good and true life, that lived each day by the Son of Man who delighted to make His Father fully known. It is God's purpose for His people to 'be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the first born among many brethren'. Romans 8 vs 28,29.
We are to be crafted by the vicissitudes of life into this image, bringing our Father great joy.
