Philosophy of Living

François Jullien is professor at Université Paris Diderot, a member of the Institut universitaire de France, and director of the Institut de la pensée contemporaine. Krzysztof Fijalkowski is a senior lecturer in critical studies at the University of the Arts. Michael Richardson is a writer and translator. Together, Fijalkowski and Richardson have translated leading French-language authors.

“In his excellent book, The Philosophy of Living, Jullien gives us another in depth meditation on Eastern philosophy that offers a guide on how to finally live. As human beings we are caught in the ambiguity of the in-between. We are alive but need to learn how to finally live. . . . One we learn how to finally live, we can reach what Jullien calls ‘the transparency of the morning.’ I highly recommend this book. It is a perfect text to use any meaning of life class.”
