About the Book Living holds us between two places. It expresses what is most elementary―to be alive―and the absoluteness of our aspiration―finally living! But could we desire anything other than to live? In The Philosophy of Living, François Jullien meditates on Far Eastern thought and philosophy to analyze concepts that can be folded into a complete philosophy of living, including the idea of the moment, the ambiguity of the in-between, and what he calls the “transparency of morning.” Jullien here develops a strategy of living that goes beyond morality and dwells in the space between health and spirituality. About the Author François Jullien is professor at Université Paris Diderot, a member of the Institut universitaire de France, and director of the Institut de la pensée contemporaine. Krzysztof Fijalkowski is a senior lecturer in critical studies at the University of the Arts. Michael Richardson is a writer and translator. Together, Fijalkowski and Richardson have translated leading French-language authors.
