- How can philosophy be a way of life? Pierre Hadot wrote about ancient Greek and Roman philosophers who approached philosophy with the goal and practice of wisdom. What does this mean for us today?
Christine Lambie discusses a passage from Hadot’s book, ‘Philosophy as a Way of Life’:
“Philosophy was a mode of existing-in-the-world, which had to be practised at each instant, and the goal of which was to transform the whole of the individual's life ...
Philosophy was a way of life, both in its exercise and effort to achieve wisdom, and in its goal, wisdom itself. For real wisdom does not merely cause us to know: it makes us "be" in a different way ...
Philosophy is a conversion, a transformation of one's way of being and living, and a quest for wisdom.” Ch 11
The School of Philosophy and Economic Science offers courses in practical philosophy and economics with justice as well as other subjects. It aims to approach philosophy in a practical way, encouraging students to apply philosophy in their lives. The School also introduces a mindfulness-type exercise leading eventually to mantra meditation.

Thanks for the excellent points you make and for the wonderful sound of your voice 🙏🏼
Thank you for watching. We're happy you enjoyed it.
Brilliant he reveals wisdom as moment to moment awareness
Imagine how different our lives could be with moment to moment awareness... food for thought!
Thanks for this. I must read this "Philosophy asa a way of life" for a course I am enrolled in. To me, Hadot seems to say "get real" to us and that is the message going back 2500 years. So I say to myself, "get real, wise up, This is about transforming, working and evolving".
Well said! It's not an easy book, but well worth reading. Hadot seems to understand the ancient philosophers in a rather unique way. Thanks for watching!
I have long admired Hadot's work. Thanks for this lucid introduction to his thought, which only serves to show how cerebral and irrelevant much of contemporary philosophy is.
Thanks for this great comment. Yes, philosophy in the ancient world was a much broader subject which included what is now some psychology and natural science, as well as the 'spiritual exercises' as Hadot calls them, in the pursuit of wisdom.
Thank you for such a lucid introduction to this remarkable man
Glad you enjoyed it - we find his philosophy to be quite liberating.
A good wake-up call.
Yes! thank you for the comment
