Couverture / Jaquette

This book has no other objective than that of its title: Traveling with Pierre Hadot through ancient thought. A journey that does not propose any new theory or philosophical system, but, on the contrary, what it intends is another point of view, another perspective of the so-called Ancient Philosophy, that is, when philosophical thinking began in the West. And this perspective of Hadot is absolutely different from what is generally understood and taught in philosophy, that is to say, in these pages there is not only a presentation of ancient philosophical thinking but a warning: it is a thinking to deepen living, one lives to be more and better than one is; philosophy is taken as the path that undoubtedly focuses on the Good, understood this Good as the sum of virtues and behaviors that ensure what we commonly call happiness or, at least, harmony of existence with oneself and with what surrounds us.
