Why some of the great philosophers never married ?
gpt
Nietzsche's take on this pops up in Genealogy of Morals, essay 3, chapter 7, interestingly. His argument is that philosophers have a bias towards ascetic ideals because they are the conditions best suited for intellectual inquiry. Having a family detracts from these optimum conditions, and so philosophers chose not to marry so that they may stay at the centre of their little academic world.
