Abstract

The exhortations present in Xenophon's Memorabilia, Plato's Euthydemus and Aristotle's Protrepticus instigate a philosophy that is characterised by the care of virtue, of the educated soul that attains wisdom, which, although projected towards nature and the divine, is not only theoretical, but also practical, achieving 'eupraxia'. It unfolds in the rest of the arts, including politics, and in the company of friends, nourished by the example of Socrates, or the prudent. This 'kalokagathia' is the field of a good life to which philosophy invites, promising happiness.
