E-book: Philosophy as a Way of Life
A four-part commentary on Pierre Hadot's classic book
Dear Reader,
Today I am announcing a new occasional series here at Figs in Winter. From time to time I will publish a free collection (downloadable pdf) of thematic essays that have previously appeared in the newsletter. The essays in these collections have been selected because I think they may be particularly enjoyable and useful to you.
I’ve been writing about philosophy as a way of life for a good number of years now, beginning with my first book on the topic, Answers for Aristotle: How Science and Philosophy Can Lead Us to A More Meaningful Life, continuing with the well received How to Be a Stoic: Using Ancient Philosophy to Live a Modern Life, and a number of others.
The first such collection is made of four essays that together constitute an in-depth commentary on Pierre Hadot’s famous and impactful book, Philosophy as a Way of Life: Spiritual Exercises from Socrates to Foucault.
Enjoy, and remember, Philosophia longa, vita brevis!
~Massimo Pigliucci
Thank you
Thank you so much Massimo! Looking forward to reading it as I'm finding Hadot's "The Inner Citadel" quite dense.
