The esteemed French philosopher Pierre Hadot's final work, now
available in English. With a foreword by Arnold I. Davidson and
Daniele Lorenzini. In his final book, renowned philosopher Pierre
Hadot explores Goethe's relationship with ancient spiritual
exercises-transformative acts of intellect, imagination, or will.
Goethe sought both an intense experience of the present moment as
well as a kind of cosmic consciousness, both of which are rooted in
ancient philosophical practices. These practices shaped Goethe's
audacious contrast to the traditional maxim memento mori (Don't
forget that you will die) with the aim of transforming our ordinary
consciousness. Ultimately, Hadot reveals how Goethe cultivated a
deep love for life that brings to the forefront a new maxim: Don't
forget to live.
