Protrepticus is a philosophical work attributed to the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle. It is primarily focused on encouraging individuals to pursue a life of virtue and wisdom. The text emphasizes the importance of philosophical inquiry and the benefits of living a reflective life. The work is often considered a form of moral exhortation, aiming to persuade readers to engage in self-examination and to seek knowledge. Although the complete text has not survived, its themes resonate with the teachings of other philosophers, such as Plato and the Stoics, who also valued the pursuit of a virtuous life.
