The essay explores the transformative role of philosophy in shaping the self, connecting the thoughts of Pierre Hadot, Michel Foucault, and François Jullien. Hadot and Foucault draw from ancient Greco-Roman traditions, while Jullien references Chinese wisdom, all aiming to bridge the past with contemporary life. Each philosopher emphasizes a different aspect: Hadot views philosophy as a spiritual exercise, Foucault as self-care, and Jullien as the art of living. Together, they advocate for philosophy as a means to cultivate an ethical existence and a more authentic life.
