In Ancient Greece, the philosopher Socrates famously declared that the unexamined life was not worth living.
He was then asked to sum up what all philosophical commandments could be reduced to, he replied: ‘Know yourself.’
Knowing yourself has extraordinary prestige in our culture. It has been framed as quite literally the meaning of life.
Here we want to focus on the areas of self-knowledge that matter most in life: the areas concerned with the inner psychological core of the self.
Here are options you should consider when carrying out self evaluation.
– What kind of person are you characteristically attracted to in love?
– What are your talents at work?
– What is your attitude towards success/failure?
– How do you feel when corrected?
– What is your taste?
– Do you think logically or emotionally?
If you have solid answers to these issues, you’ll be able to speak of yourself as someone with an adequate degree of self-knowledge.
Thank You!
