Philosophy As A Daily Practice
December 20255 min read
The old philosophers did not write for exams. They wrote to be lived with — a page at breakfast, a paragraph before sleep.
Marcus Aurelius wrote to himself. Montaigne wrote in the margins of his own days. Simone Weil wrote in notebooks that were never meant to be read. Philosophy, at its best, is a daily practice — closer to sketching than to argument.
You do not need to master a system. You need a question you are willing to keep company with. That is all.
— Madame Monsieur
