The Art of Living: Socratic Reflections from Plato to Foucault Paperback - 2000
by Alexander Nehamas
In this wide-ranging, brilliantly written account, Nehamas provides an incisive reevaluation of Socrates' place in the Western philosophical tradition and shows the importance of Socrates for Montaigne, Nietzsche, and Foucault.
First line
No novel can match the irreducible ambivalence that permeates The Magic Mountain.
From the rear cover
"This is an amazingly broad-ranging book, full of original ideas and associations that make it both a pleasure and a challenge to read. . . . I found that many of Nehamas's ideas and arguments resonated in my mind for weeks after reading this book."--Shadi Bartsch, author of Ideology in Cold Blood
"Combining, as he does, philosophy, literature, and classical studies, Nehamas has written an exceptionally fine book--creative, original, readable, stimulating, and extremely useful."--A.A. Long, University of California, Berkeley
"The Art of Living is elegantly and engagingly written: it is both scholarly and personal, lively and yet balanced. This is a brilliant and outstanding work."--Mark Griffith, coeditor of Cabinet of the Muses
