Pierre Hadot

The Present Alone is Our Happiness

Conversations with Jeannie Carlier and Arnold I. Davidson

Buch

In this book of brilliantly erudite and precise discussions, which also serves as an introduction to Pierre Hadot's more scholarly works, Hadot explains that for the Ancients, philosophy was not reducible to the building of a theoretical system: it was above all a choice about how to live one's life.
