The ancient wisdom of philosophers like Aristotle and Confucius is experiencing a modern-day resurgence, according to Aristotle scholar Demetra Sfendoni-Mentzou. Speaking at the 10th Nishan Forum on World Civilizations in Qufu, Shandong Province, Sfendoni-Mentzou highlighted how more people are turning to age-old philosophical teachings to navigate contemporary society.
“The musings of philosophers from thousands of years ago are playing a guiding role in modern society,” she remarked during an interview with CGTN at the forum. Sfendoni-Mentzou emphasized the relevance of ancient wisdom in addressing today’s complex challenges.
The Nishan Forum, held in the birthplace of Confucius, serves as a platform for global thinkers to explore the impact of world civilizations. Sfendoni-Mentzou’s insights underscore a growing interest in integrating classical philosophy into modern life, reflecting a universal quest for meaning and guidance.
