Description: Hellenic philosophy is more than a study of nature, first causes, or values based on speculative reasoning; it is also a practice—a way of life—that leads to a type of spiritual transformation that is similar to the initiatory mysteries of ancient Greece. This lecture, drawing on Hellenic philosophy and an understanding of the Mystery Traditions, considers philosophy not just as a study, but as a practice and path.
