"The newly read text discusses the stoic concept of hormē, or impulse, and warns that failing to regulate behaviour with reason can lead to harmful passions and diversion from one’s goals. Another concept is phronēsis or “practical wisdom”, the highest virtue a person can have in stoic philosophy. In one passage, the author writes: “We will inquire into something, but we will not grasp it, if in some way we depart from ourselves and from our own nature.” The line suggests that reason and the innate human inclination to do good were crucial for furthering one’s knowledge." https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/jun/24/ai-read-papyrus-scroll-burnt-vesuvius-eruption #Science #AI #MachineLearning #XRay #Scroll #Papyrus #History #Stoic #Knowledge
