This is a Socrates quote that i'm looking to have translated into Hebrew. I'd be very greatful for your help and any explanations of your answers. |
| | | Hebrew translation:חיים ללא בחינה עצמית לא ראוי לחיותם | Explanation:
I understand 'examined' as self-examined. So my translation, which goes up a notch in register above the other answers, as befits Socrates, is this:
A life lacking self-examination is not worth living

unexamined = without examination, which in the context of life means experiments-experiences. so life without experience is not really living life - the life that is worth while living.
