Short Summary
Ancient philosophy was deeply practical, aiming to guide people toward a good life through ethics rooted in metaphysics and logic. Modern philosophy, while often dissected into specialized fields, can lose its practical grounding and become overly theoretical, yet at its best, it maintains a focus on real-world application and self-discovery. This shift can result in ethics lacking a robust metaphysical base, leading to individuals selectively adopting philosophies based on personal preference rather than profound intellectual development.
