I began Hadot's "What is Ancient Philosophy?" today. Luke Timothy Johnson's lectures on Ancient Moralists got me to thinking about 'philosophy as a way of life.' So much to learn; so much to live!

[@Philosophycourse]

You're so right - we love Hadot's position that philosophy was for living. Thanks for watching.

Brilliant he reveals wisdom as moment to moment awareness

[@Philosophycourse]

Imagine how different our lives could be with moment to moment awareness... food for thought!

Thank you for such a lucid introduction to this remarkable man

Glad you enjoyed it - we find his philosophy to be quite liberating.

Thanks for this. I must read this "Philosophy asa a way of life" for a course I am enrolled in. To me, Hadot seems to say "get real" to us and that is the message going back 2500 years. So I say to myself, "get real, wise up, This is about transforming, working and evolving".

[@Philosophycourse]

Well said! It's not an easy book, but well worth reading. Hadot seems to understand the ancient philosophers in a rather unique way. Thanks for watching!

I have long admired Hadot's work. Thanks for this lucid introduction to his thought, which only serves to show how cerebral and irrelevant much of contemporary philosophy is.

[@Philosophycourse]

Thanks for this great comment. Yes, philosophy in the ancient world was a much broader subject which included what is now some psychology and natural science, as well as the 'spiritual exercises' as Hadot calls them, in the pursuit of wisdom.
