Summary/Abstract: If the delphic dictum gnōthiseauton is still active, centering gnoseologically the entire western world, another delphicinscription seems to be forgotten by the modern man: epimeleia heautou/ cura sui.Starting from Boethius and reaching Foucault, the author pursues here the career of thisethical-applicative slogan, passing through medieval philosophy and through Kant,to point out the lack of man of today, who no longer seeks the care (epimeleia) ofMrs. Philosophy. The decline of Philosophy, who was the Boethius’ nanny, is thegrowth of self-love, which is the true disease of humanity.
