Each of these studies approaches the issue of taking care of the self from a different perspective: Part I by Vladislav Suvák focuses on Socrates’ therapeutic education; Part II by Lívia Flachbartová 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface  1 Socratic Therapy as Taking Care of the Self and Others  Vladislav Suvák  2 The Care of the Self and Diogenes’ Ascetic Practices  Lívia Flachbartová  3 The Care of the Self and Its Phenomenological Constitution: Henri Maldiney  Pavol Sucharek  Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210741375319,"sku":"9789004357075","price":50.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/care-of-the-self-ancient-problematizations-of-life-and-contemporary-thought-9789004357075","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
