第欧根尼·拉尔修在《名哲言行录》中首卷描述希腊七贤,令人深思。结合公元3世纪罗马动荡的社会背景,可明白拉尔修意图通过七贤高尚睿智的言行,为混乱黑暗中的罗马人擎起一盏指路明灯。 Diogenes Lalouchu in the “famous philosophical history” in the first volume describes the Greek Seven Sages, it is thought-provoking. Combined with the turbulent social background of Rome in the 3rd century AD, we can understand that La Erxiu intended to illuminate the Romans in the chaotic darkness with the noble and wise words and deeds of the seven bents.
