The article analyses the nature of ancient philosophy. What was it? Was it a search for the truth of the nature? Or was it more a lifestyle, consciously chosen and developed? Th e above interpretations are considered as contradictory. However, in my opinion, in Greek philosophy world and man were not distinct from each other. Th e Greeks saw universe as a unity encompassing everything that exists, including human beings and even gods. Greek philosophers were interested not only in physical world; they focused also on a question how a man should live. With time, this question became the most important: philosophy became a way of intellectual and spiritual exercise, leading to a good life and finally to happiness. I stress this ‘exercising’ dimension as inseparable from all philosophical inquiry in antiquity.
