Act from the heart

in hive-114105 •  5 years ago 

I'm trying to remember where I read it, or who it was... (it may have been Socrates as quoted by Plato), but the original Greek thinking by one philosopher was that 'philosophy' was meant to be a practice of understanding through reason the desires of the Heart.

Somewhere along the way, it became twisted into the cold, heartless, and disembodied teachings.

Perhaps Descartes with "I think and therefore I am" set the cornerstone for cold and extremely rational philosophy. But here we are, with a heart nonetheless.
