Description

The esteemed French philosopher Pierre Hadots 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 Goethes 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 Goethes audacious contrast to the traditional maxim memento mori (Dont 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: Dont forget to live.
