I have a Tern folding bike and used it for train commutes. Find someone who really knows how to service them, I've had mine completely messed up during the annual tune up. Hopefully your local bike shop where you bought it will have the right people!

I find it useful to connect bureaucracy and literacy to see the connection between the form and content.

I'm still working it out, but your idea helps. I want to understand reflective or philosophical skepticism as looking for a way to consistently express moral/epistemic humility in a way (writing) that was designed to express dogmata, which explains the literary experiments of Sextus, Zhuangzi, etc

I realize now that I didn't get the significance of the title!

I think that's very plausible. Have you thought at all about the connection between philosophy as a discipline and literacy? I've been thinking a lot about this in connection with global skeptical traditions.

Enjoyed the post! Do you think there is a tension between the claim that philosophical natures can be found anywhere and the search for specific social conditions for philosophy? Or do you mean the latter as a stable discipline, not just isolated thinkers?

This is a very good piece of advice. Will make sure none of my future sentences make this mistake.

That would be interesting to know!

Interesting that the author references Epicureans and Stoics, neither of whom really make such a strong distinction between Sophia and Phronesis. Maybe they are somewhat more relevant in the Hellenistic period?

That's my sense as well. Although I still think Snell's observations about the way the archaic Greeks described 'mental' phenomena in poetry is very interesting in it's own right.
