Which philosophers practised what they preached?

Not the guy you're replying to, but for one thing, he was fat.

Reason enough. Men should forge their bodies into marvels of human strength. This also serves the purpose of cultivating discipline and mitigating habits that are detrimental to one’s health, as actively approaching a goal while participating in activities that hinder progress is irrational. In that way, a man fails to be reasonable, and failure to use one’s highest cognative faculty is unbecoming of he who asserts himself a man.

Listen to this:

A discussion of Seneca by a historian of philosophy. A ggod deal of the episode is focused on trying to make sense of Seneca's lavish life as an advisor to demented emperor Nero (for instance he once requested that dozens of tables of citrus tree be carved just for a "yellow-themed" party he was having with his friends). Generally speaking his way of life was much closer to that of a Hollywood star than to that of a frugal philosopher, he advocated financial parsimony in his writing while being one of the richest men in the Roman Empire. There's still a controversy to this day as to whether he was doing it for noble purposes or was simply an hypocrite, but at any rate he's not a good example of "practicing what you preach".

If there is still debate on whether he was practicing what he preached, the odds are that he wasn’t clear enough in his writings. His lack of clarity, predicated by his lack of laboring by his word, caused this problem. And thus, Seneca did not practice what he preached. Thanks user

Mushashi was an interesting fellow. He not only reported to have never lost a fight, but he preached that one can master anything if a systematic approach is taken toward the subject in question. He became an expert swordsman and artist through these means. On a side note, I read somewhere that somebody challenged him to a duel, presumably over a women, and he rowed his boat down the river and bested an armed man in a duel with a wooden oar.

Jesus Christ.

Plato noticeably excluded it would seem, but not Plotinus.

My mistake. Plato should be on there too. I confused some information. Both established schools.

Kierkegaard

Plato at least TRIED to put his ideas about the philosopher king into practice, I think when he was the court philosopher in Syracuse.

How did you attain this perception of Musashi' philosophy and who are modern philosophers that share his view?

Euclid.

He preached Geometry and practiced geometry.

Practicing what you preach is a spook

Seneca understand stoicism differently to what we think it is, in modern time. Seneca was aware of his failings in practice of 'stoic' philosophy but most eminent stoics never maintained the potion that their is either a core list of things a stoic must do and that you must always at all times be 'stoic'. It's simply not the case and completely misunderstand what stoics is. Seneca practiced stoicism, whether he was good or bad we cannot say under any reasonable argument as the stoic philosophy is purely with the practitioner.

Also read letters from a stoic where he pretty much explains this.

I’m not sure if any philosophers ever reached his level of badass. Socrates came before him which puts him out of the running. Mushashi practiced his skills in duels to the death. It’s hard to do stuff like that nowadays.

I wonder if he went full autism. Now i know Japan being Japan dates waay back. Gonna read those, thanks for the recommendation.

Nietzsche, Kant, Schopenhauer, Diogenes, Muhammed, all the post-modernists and all the analytics.

>post-modernists
Insofar as they were the personifications of societal scrambles understood as epileptic seizures in a specific region of the brain, sure.
