The Communion of the Wise
“To learn and at due times to repeat what one has learnt, is that not after all a pleasure? That friends should come to one from afar, is this not after all delightful?” It is with this praise of study and philosophical friendship that the Analects of Confucius begin (trans. Waley). The “gathered friends from afar” surely refers as much to the classics and the classical authors as to one’s contemporaries at school. When sophists fill the academies and the courts of the city and the world, philosophers may yet commune in the catacombs of culture: the living ashes of books and scores and painted canvases.
