Infos

The studies included in the Care of the Self: Ancient Problematizations of Life and Contemporary Thought focus on different manifestations of "e;taking care of the self"e; present in ancient and contemporary thought. Each of these studies approaches the issue of taking care of the self from a different perspective: Part I by Vladislav Suvak focuses on Socrates' therapeutic education; Part II by Livia Flachbartova centres on Diogenes' ascetic practices; and Part III by Pavol Sucharek concentrates on Henri Maldiney's existential phenomenology.Taking care of the self (epimeleia heautou) is not just one of a great many topics associated with ancient ethics. Echoing Michel Foucault, we could say that the care of the self applies to all problematizations of life.
