Pierre Hadot

20th-21st Century (focus on Antiquity)

Pierre Hadot (1922-2010) was a renowned French philosopher and historian of philosophy, celebrated for his groundbreaking reinterpretation of ancient philosophy. He passionately argued that ancient philosophical schools were not merely theoretical systems but comprehensive 'ways of life' involving 'spiritual exercises' aimed at self-transformation and living in harmony with the cosmos. His work fundamentally reshaped the understanding of philosophy's practical dimension.
