"First published as Metaphilosophy volume 51, nos. 2-3 (April 2020)."

Description

In the ancient world, philosophy was understood to be a practical guide for living, or even itself a way of life. This volume of essays brings historical views about philosophy as a way of life, coupled with their modern equivalents, more prevalently into the domain of the contemporary scholarly world.

Philosophy as a Way of Life illustrates how the articulation of philosophy as a way of life and its pedagogical implementation advances the love of wisdom. It questions how we might convey the love of wisdom as not only a body of dogmatic principles and axiomatic truths but also as a lived exercise that can be practiced.

This book offers a collection of essays on an emerging field of philosophical research. It is essential reading for academics, researchers, and scholars of philosophy, moral philosophy, and pedagogy, as well as business and professional people who have an interest in expanding their horizons.
