Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le philosophe n'apprend pas aux hommes un metier particulier, [...] mais il cherche a transformer leur sensibilite, leur caractere, leur maniere de voir le monde ou d'etre en rapport avec les autres hommes. On pourrait dire qu'il leur apprend le metier d'homme. Si la tache de la philosophie est de former plutot que d'informer, la philosophie est precisement l'education des adultes. C'est en ces termes que Pierre Hadot evoque une conception de la philosophie comme maniere de vivre que toute son oeuvre aura brillamment contribue a reactiver. Grand lecteur des philosophes antiques, de Socrate et Platon a Epictete, Marc Aurele et Plotin, mais aussi des philosophes modernes ou contemporains, de Montaigne et Descartes a Nietzsche et Merleau-Ponty, dans ce recueil de textes - introuvables ou inedits - Pierre Hadot relit l'histoire de la pensee afin de nous aider a reorienter notre vie et a reapprendre a voir le monde. Ces textes temoignent de sa capacite de parler a la fois au public universitaire et aux non specialistes passionnes de philosophie. On y reconnait toujours la clarte et la puissance de sa pensee. Sommes-nous prets a etre (trans)formes par la philosophie?

Download or read book The Selected Writings of Pierre Hadot written by Pierre Hadot and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-05-28 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of writings from Pierre Hadot (1992-2010) presents, for the first time, previously unreleased and in some cases untranslated materials from one of the world's most prominent classical philosophers and historians of thought. As a passionate proponent of philosophy as a 'way of life' (most powerfully communicated in the life of Socrates), Pierre Hadot rejuvenated interest in the ancient philosophers and developed a philosophy based on their work which is peculiarly contemporary. His radical recasting of philosophy in the West was both provocative and substantial. Indeed, Michel Foucault cites Pierre Hadot as a major influence on his work. This beautifully written, lucid collection of writings will not only be of interest to historians, classicists and philosophers but also those interested in nourishing, as Pierre Hadot himself might have put it, a 'spiritual life'.
Download or read book Philosophy as a Way of Life written by Matthew Sharpe and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-07-15 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this first ever introduction to philosophy as a way of life in the Western tradition, Matthew Sharpe and Michael Ure take us through the history of the idea from Socrates and Plato, via the medievals, Renaissance and Enlightenment thinkers, to Schopenhauer and Nietzsche, Foucault and Hadot. They examine the kinds of practical exercises each thinker recommended to transform their philosophy into manners of living. Philosophy as a Way of Life also examines the recent resurgence of thinking about philosophy as a practical, lived reality and why this ancient tradition still has so much relevance and power in the contemporary world.
Download or read book The Late Foucault written by Marta Faustino and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michel Foucault is one of the most important and controversial thinkers of the twentieth century and one of the leading figures in contemporary Western intellectual life and debate. The recent publication of his last lecture courses at the Collège de France (1981-1984), together with the short texts, essays, and interviews from the same period, have sparked new interest in his work, allowing for a new understanding of his philosophical trajectory and challenging several interpretations produced over the last few decades. In this later phase of his thinking, Foucault deepens and expands the course of his preceding works on the genealogy of subjectivity, while at the same time adding a significant ethical and political dimension to it. His focus on the ancient ethics of care of the self and technologies of self-constitution during this period adds important nuances to his previous positions on power, truth, and subjectivity, shedding new light on his philosophical endeavour as a whole and situating his reflections at the centre of current moral debates. Focusing on the last stage of Foucault's thought, this book brings together international scholars to relaunch the critical debate on the significance of Foucault's so-called “ethical turn” and to discuss the ways in which the perspectives offered by Foucault in this period might help us to unravel modernity, giving us the tools to understand and transform our present, ethically and politically.
Download or read book Hadot and Foucault on Ancient Philosophy written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2024-03-04 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The affinities between Pierre Hadot’s and Michel Foucault’s interpretations of ancient philosophy, as well as their impact, are well-known. However, these interpretations have been criticized in several crucial points. This book provides the first extensive critical assessment of these interpretations. It brings together specialists in ancient philosophy, as well as Hadot and Foucault scholars, in order both to explore criticisms and clarify Hadot’s and Foucault’s accounts. In doing so, it not only offers an overview of the main trends in Philosophy as a Way of Life, but also recasts the debate and opens new paths of inquiry in the field.
Download or read book Political Education in the Anthropocene written by Nathanaël Wallenhorst and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-11-22 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book articulates an educational theory as well as a political theory of the Anthropocene. Divided into three sections it addresses educational anthropology, cultures and institutions, and educational recommendations in the Anthropocene. Topics covered in the volume measure the impact of the idea of the Anthropocene on the type of anthropology that underlies education and on a phenomenology of relationship. It links the notion of the Anthropocene with cultures and institutions so as not to 'smooth out' or erase the latter. Finally, it presents proposals and recommendations for educational practices. The work advocates rethinking education as an essential component in ensuring the sustainability of human life in society - by proposing to go beyond the approach of education for sustainable development or environmental education. The work also brings together empirical contributions in which proposals are elaborated for programs, pedagogical devices and experiments relating to the preparation of the future in the field of education. This volume is of interest to researchers of the Anthropocene.
Download or read book Lifelong Education written by Paul Bélanger and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1995-05-31 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The basic aim of this special issue is to focus on the profound change of tendency in education that is taking place at both the national and interna tional level. At a time when education and lifelong learning are increasingly merging into one process, it is important to examine the ways in which edu cational policies and practices are evolving. Consequently, we invited a variety of contributors, both men and women, coming from different regions and encompassing both research and practice, to identify significant phenomena and trends that are indicative of the ways in which systems of education are responding to new social and cultural demands. We asked our contributors to show how educational reality in different countries is no longer confined within the temporal and spatial limits of institutional education, to indicate how models of educational practice are changing, to examine the extent to which the traditional cycles of human life are shifting their boundaries, and to describe how these changes are mani festing themselves in different national contexts in both South and North. We also asked our authors to pose questions raised by this educational revolution. We have included 17 contributions, some of the authors analysing par ticular national situations, others drawing questions and observations from their own experiences or taking a searching look at education from the perspective of a practical involvement in social iSl>ues or from a background of research into popular arts and traditions.

Download or read book The Human Vocation in German Philosophy written by Anne Pollok and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-01-26 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 18th-century Germany philosophers were occupied with questions of who we are and what we should be. Can the individual fulfill its vocation or is this possible only for humanity as a whole? Is significant progress towards perfection in any way possible for me or just for me as part of humanity? By following the origin and nature of these debates, this collection sheds light on the vocation of humanity in early German philosophy. Featuring translations of Spalding's Contemplation on the Vocation of the Human Being in its first version from 1748 and an extended translation of Abbt's and Mendelssohn's epistolary discussion around the Doubts and the Oracle from 1767, newly-commissioned chapters cover Johann Gottfried Herder's inherently cultural concept of the human being, Immanuel Kant's transformative interplay of moral and natural aspects, and the notion of metempsychosis in Fichte's work inspired by two neglected philosophers, Gotthold Ephraim Lessing and Johann Georg Schlosser. Opening further lines of inquiry, contributors address questions about the adaptations of Spalding's work that focus on the vocation of women as wife, mother or citizen. Exploring the multitude of ways 18th-century German thinkers understand our position in the world, this volume captures major changes in metaphysics and anthropology and enriches current debates within modern philosophy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il est des livres dont on sort changé. C'est le cas de tous les ouvrages de Pierre Hadot, qu'il traitent de Marc Aurèle ou de Plotin,du stoïcisme ou de la mystique ; avec une érudition toujours limpide, ils montrent que, pour les Anciens, la philosophie n'est pas construction de système, mais choix de vie, expérience vécue visant à produire un "effet de formation", bref un exercice sur le chemin de la sagesse. Dans ces entretiens, nous découvrons un savant admirable, dont l'oeuvre a nourri de très nombreux penseurs, mais aussi un homme secret, pudique, sobre dans ses jugements, parfois ironique, jamais sentencieux. En suivant Pierre Hadot, nous comprenons comment lire et interpréter la sagesse antique, en quoi les philosophies des Anciens, et la pensée de Marc Aurèle en particulier, peuvent nous aider à mieux vivre. Et si "philosopher, c'est apprendre à mourir", il faut aussi apprendre à " vivre dans le moment présent, vivre comme si l'on voyait le monde pour la dernière fois, mais aussi pour la première fois.
Download or read book Ways of Being Alive written by Baptiste Morizot and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2022-03-07 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ecological crisis is a very real crisis for the many species that face extinction, but it is also a crisis of sensibility – that is, a crisis in our relationships with other living beings. We have grown accustomed to treating other living beings as the material backdrop for the drama of human life: the animal world is regarded as part of ‘nature’, juxtaposed to the world of human beings who pursue their aims independently of other species. Baptiste Morizot argues that the time has come for us to jettison this nature─human dualism and rethink our relationships with other living beings. Animals are not part of a separate, natural world: they are cohabitants of the Earth, with whom we share a common ancestry, the enigma of being alive and the responsibility of living decent lives together. By accepting our identity as living beings and reconnecting with our own animal nature, we can begin to change our relationships with other animals, seeing them not as inferior lifeforms but as living creatures who have different ways of being alive. This powerful plea for a new understanding of our relationships with other animals will be of great interest to anyone concerned about the ecological crisis and the future of different species, including our own.
