Abstract | In a series of articles and books beginning in 1972, the philologist and philosopher Pierre Hadot developed a reading of Stoicism as a philosophical way of life that has had widespread influence. Hadot’s conception of Stoicism is given its most extended expression in his magisterial 1992 study of Marcus Aurelius, La Citadelle intérieure: Introduction aux Pensées de Marc Aurèle, together with a later work, coauthored with Ilsetraut Hadot (2004), on Epictetus’s Handbook and the Neoplatonist Simplicius’s commentary on this text. Since the translation of La Citadelle intérieure (1998, henceforth cited parenthetically as IC), alongside Hadot’s cognate studies on ancient philosophy more widely in Philosophy as a Way of Life (1996c) and What Is Ancient Philosophy? (2000), Hadot’s conception of Stoicism has been taken up by a range of global, internet-based “Stoic” communities, committed to proselytizing and practising Stoicism as a manner of life. |
