“.. It is necessary to understand what philosophy meant to most people of the ancient world.

It was a completely all-embracing activity engaging heart and will as well as mind.. It was a kind of philosophy which had a very strong ethical emphasis and an extremely close connection to religion. Philosophy was an all-embracing activity, teaching a person about her or him self, the world and the Divine, telling her or him how to live rightly, and moreover moving her or him to action." - A. Hilary Armstrong
