Neuware - En una serie de entrevistas con Arnold I. Davidson y Jeannie Carlier, Pierre Hadot, profesor emérito del Collège de France y una de las influencias más notables en el pensamiento del último Foucault, revela las claves de su itinerario vital y de su pensamiento filosófico. A partir de sus reflexiones sobre la filosofía antigua, Hadot descubre una manera de filosofar según la cual hacer filosofía no consiste en resolver problemas abstractos sino en mejorar nuestra forma de vivir. El género de la entrevista permite al lector adentrarse de forma amena en el pensamiento de Hadot, cuyo libro Plotino o la simplicidad de la mirada, publicado por Alpha Decay en 2004, tuvo muy buena acogida.

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.
