Pierre Hadot is arguably one of the most influential and
wide-ranging historians of ancient philosophy writing today. As
well as having an important influence on the work of Michel
Foucault, Hadot's work has been pivotal in the development of
contemporary French philosophy. His work is currently concerned
with a redefinition of modern philosophy through a study of ancient
life and ancient philosophical texts.
This book presents a history of spiritual exercises from
Socrates to early Christianity, an account of their decline in
modern philosophy, and a discussion of the different conceptions of
philosophy that have accompanied the trajectory and fate of the
theory and practice of spiritual exercises. Hadot's book
demonstrates the extent to which philosophy has been, and still is,
above all else a way of seeing and of being in the world.
