He was 86 years old. Jung viewed death as a fulfillment, rather than a negation, of life. The Philosophy Teacher. No fear! Wittgenstein: Philosophical discussion in Cambridge. Noam Chomsky & Michel Foucault. The Ideas of Chomsky. The Examined Life & the Task of Public Philosophy. This phrase is over 2400 years old, dating back to 399 BC when Socrates first uttered the words at his infamous defense trial, and retold by his pupil Plato around 387 BC in the Platonic dialogue the Apology of Socrates.
Beyond modeling the examined life himself, Socrates pressed ordinary Athenian citizens to question their notions of justice, virtue, piety, and love, and never held set definitions himself. Since Socrates, the aphorism of the “examined life” has given rise to analogous sayings such as “life of the mind,” vita contemplativa, and “learning for learning’s sake,” and is the subject of countless books and courses.
