About The Book

Philosophy in antiquity was conceived not as mere theory but as a way of life; but it lost its 'practicist' cast through a process that begins in the patristic era and peaks with its conversion into an academic discipline in the medieval universities under the influence of 13th-century scholasticism. Juliusz Domański sets out the reasons behind that process and shows how traces of the 'practicist' orientation survived, ultimately leading to a recovery of the ancient notion among the humanists of the Renaissance. A foreword by Pierre Hadot relates Domański's research to his own vision of the history of philosophy.

About The Author

Professor Juliusz Domański is a classical philologist, neo-Latinist, and historian of pre-modern philosophy. As the author of around three hundred publications across these disciplines, he has predominantly focused on the Middle Ages and Renaissance as well as on meta-philosophical studies.

Associate Professor Matthew Sharpe is National Head of School of Philosophy at Australian Catholic University. He is a co-translator of Pierre Hadot's Selected Writings: Philosophy as Practice (Bloomsbury 2020), co-author of Philosophy as a Way of Life: History, Dimensions and Directions (Bloomsbury 2021), and co-editor of the Brill series Philosophy as a Way of Life: Texts and Studies.

Andrew B. Irvine is Professor of Philosophy and Religion at Maryville College, Maryville, Tennessee. He teaches courses in Western and comparative philosophy, and multi-disciplinary approaches to religious studies. His broad research interests cross philosophy as a way of life, the pragmatist tradition, and postcolonial/decolonial thinking.

Matteo Stettler, Ph.D. (2024), Deakin University (Australia), is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Bologna (Italy) specializing in the notion of philosophy as a way of life and a guide to happiness in Antiquity and the Middle Ages. His research on the subject has appeared in a variety of outlets, including Aevum and the Zeitschrift für Antikes Christentum.

Krzysztof Jacek Bekieszczuk is a Latinist and theologian, and since 2017, he has been teaching Latin using a communicative approach. His research focuses on Renaissance humanism and the history of the modern era. He is the author of the first Polish translation and commentary on Erasmus of Rotterdam's Discussion of Free Will.

Eli Kramer is an Associate (University) Professor at the Institute of Philosophy of the University of Wroclaw. His research explores the complex and often contested relationship between philosophy as a way of life/humane learning traditions and institutions of higher learning across the globe. He also works in innovative/alternative higher education policy and practice. He is co-editor of the Brill series Philosophy as a Way of Life: Texts and Studies.

Krzysztof Lapiński (Ph.D. 2016, 'Habilitation' 2019) is an Assistant Professor of Ancient Philosophy at the Department of Philosophy, University of Warsaw. He has translated Marcus Aurelius' Meditations (2011) and Musonius Rufus' Diatribes (2021) into Polish. He is the author of a book on Marcus Aurelius (Ananeou seauton, 2018). His research focuses on Stoicism, Plato, and comparative philosophy.
