Pierre Hadot, Philosophy As A Way Of Life - Christianity As Philosophy - Sadler's Lectures

from Sadler's Lectures · host Lectures on classic and contemporary philosophical texts and thinkers by Gregory B. Sadler

This lecture discusses the 20th century philosopher and historian of ideas, Pierre Hadot, and focuses on chapter 4 of his book, Philosophy As a Way of Life. He discusses how Christianity was explicitly identified by a number of early Christian thinkers as a "philosophy". This continued on through the middle ages, where Christian monasticism was also termed "Christian philosophy". Hadot points out that not only is there considerable continuity as well as contrast between the emergent Christian philosophy and pre-Christian pagan schools, but that they all are philosophies as ways of life.
