When Socrates says that “the unexamined life is not worth living,” what might he mean by this? What is an “unexamined” life first of all, and what does it mean to “examine” one’s life?
What do you think of Aristotle’s advice that human beings should “find the mean” between two extremes before they act? Does this seem reasonable to you? Is it realistic? Does it potentially ignore the power and importance of human emotions?
