Hadot and Foucault on Ancient Philosophy: Critical Assessments

Editado por Marta Faustino e Hélder Telo

Acaba de ser publicado, pela Brill, o livro Hadot and Foucault on Ancient Philosophy. Critical Assessments, editado por Marta Faustino (IFILNOVA/Universidade Nova de Lisboa) e por Hélder Telo (PRAXIS/Universidade da Beira Interior).

As afinidades entre as interpretações de Pierre Hadot e Michel Foucault da filosofia antiga, bem como o seu impacto nos estudos clássicos e em discussões contemporâneas sobre a filosofia como modo de vida, são bem conhecidas. Apesar de influentes, porém, ambas as abordagens foram alvo de crítica em vários aspetos cruciais. Este volume fornece uma extensa abordagem crítica das interpretações de Hadot e Foucault da filosofia antiga. Juntando especialistas em filosofia antiga, por um lado, e nas obras de Hadot e Foucault, por outro, o volume explora estas críticas e contribui para o esclarecimento de ambas as abordagens. O volume oferece, assim, uma visão sinóptica das principais correntes atuais nos estudos sobre a filosofia como modo de vida, ao mesmo tempo que relança o debate e abre novas possibilidades de investigação nessa área.
