Sommario/riassunto

Can the study of philosophy impact upon an individual's way of life? Philosophy teachers might argue that there exists a form of ancient-modern dichotomy in which the 'ancients' believed philosophy could have an impact, whereas the 'moderns' refute such a notion. John Sellars addresses this contentious issue.
