Peter Saint-Andre: The Underlying Theme
In a comment on my recent post about Aristotle on ways of life, my friend Kurt wondered if, according to Aristotle, the best life must have a single purpose (in Greek, a telos). I would say so: at the very beginning of the Eudemian Ethics, he says that it is a sign of great folly to not organize your life around some telos.

Prosodical Thoughts: Prosody 0.11.13 released
We are pleased to announce a new minor release from our stable branch.
This is a(nother!) release for our stable branch to fix a memory leak caused

other configurations may have noticed increasing memory usage after upgrading
to 0.11.12. This is resolved by this new release.
A summary of changes in this release:
Minor changesFile Sharing with Docker Desktop
One of the topics users of Docker Desktop often ask us about is file sharing. How do I see my source code inside my container? What’s the difference between a volume and a bind mount? Why is file sharing slower than on Linux, and how can I speed it up? In this blog post, I’ll […]

Peter Saint-Andre: Philosophies and Ways of Life
In his book What Is Ancient Philosophy?, Pierre Hadot almost singlehandedly resurrected the ancient conception of philosophy as a way of life. Consider this observation about the philosophical schools of Greece and Rome: “For us moderns, the notion of a philosophical school evokes only the idea of a doctrinal tendency or theoretical position. Things were very different in antiquity. No university obligations oriented the future philosopher toward a specific school; instead, the futur … ⌘ Read more
