About this title

Synopsis

In a series of conversations with Arnold I. Davidson and Jeannie Carlier, Pierre Hadot, Professor Emeritus at the Collège de France, and one of the most notable influences on Michel Focault’s later thought, reveals the keys to his personal philosophy. Beginning with his reflections on ancient philosophy, Hadot reveals a way of practicing philosophy in which the act of philosophizing does not consist of answering abstract questions but in concretely improving our way of living. The interview format allows the reader to easily come to grips with Hadot’s ideas.
