Philosophy

Hi, Amity!! What's "Beard" got to do, with "Philosophy"? This is twice, in-a-row, that I've been confused.

Meow.

If you look at the sculptures of Greek philosophers, many of them had beards. Then there's the meme of the "wise man who lives on a mountain." The "wise man" usually has a beard.

Hi C_C Compliments of Wikipedia
Quote:
In Greco-Roman antiquity the beard was "seen as the defining characteristic of the philosopher; philosophers had to have beards, and anyone with a beard was assumed to be a philosopher."...
...The importance of the beard to Roman philosophers is best seen by the extreme value that the Stoic philosopher Epictetus placed on it. As historian John Sellars puts it, Epictetus "affirmed the philosopher's beard as something almost sacred...to express the idea that philosophy is no mere intellectual hobby but rather a way of life that, by definition, transforms every aspect of one's behavior, including one's shaving habits. If someone continues to shave in order to look the part of a respectable Roman citizen, it is clear that they have not yet embraced philosophy conceived as a way of life and have not yet escaped the social customs of the majority...the true philosopher will only act according to reason or according to nature, rejecting the arbitrary conventions that guide the behavior of everyone else."
