The Empty Vessel

Philosophy is not a dusty scroll to be worshipped in a temple of silence. It is a sword to guard the mind, and a healing balm for the weary soul.

We live in an age of cacophony. The marketplace is filled with noise, distraction, and the shifting winds of anxiety. To stand firm, we turn to the eternal fires of the past. We draw upon the iron will of the **Stoics**, the flowing water of **Taoism**, and the profound questioning of the **Existentialists**.

We leave the empty word-games of the Sophists to others. Here, we care only for the *Techne Tou Biou*—**The Art of Living**.

The unexamined life is not worth living. Come, let us begin the examination.
