Beskrivning
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.

Recensioner i media

"There are few figures in Western literature whose legacies are as bound up with their work as Goethe, and Hadot’s powerful interpretation is undoubtedly an important milestone in that legacy’s history. Even apart from it many other virtues, that reason alone makes this volume a necessary addition to the libraries of Goethe scholars."
