Pierre Hadot: les Meditacions de Marc Aureli com una filosofia educadora de la vida

Abstract

La filosofia occidental va aparèixer fa milers d’anys i no ha parat ’evolucionar des de llavors. En aquest treball volem analitzar, doncs, com els filòsofs antics entenien la filosofia com a mode de vida i, per tant, com aquesta no es limitava únicament a l’anàlisi teòrica de conceptes abstractes. Per mostrar tal cosa, procurem explicar l’anàlisi que fa el filòsof Pierre Hadot de l’obra Meditacions de Marc Aureli. D’aquesta obra filosòfica, mirem de tractar-ne el text, les bases filosòfiques que hi trobem i, en últim lloc, els seus exercicis espirituals. També aprofitem per veure com de les consideracions que fa Hadot també se’n segueix una idea molt interessant: la filosofia com una educació per a tothom. Així doncs, volem mostrar com la filosofia pot ser concebuda d’una manera diferent de com s’acostuma a concebre avui dia

Western philosophy emerged thousands of years ago and has not stopped evolving since then. In this work, we aim to analyze how ancient philosophers understood philosophy as a way of life and, therefore, how it was not limited only to the theoretical analysis of abstract concepts. To demonstrate this, we strive to explain the analysis that philosopher Pierre Hadot makes of the work of the Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. Regarding this philosophical work, we try to address the text of the work, the philosophical foundations we find in it, and finally, its spiritual exercises. We also take the opportunity to see how from the considerations made by Hadot, an interesting idea follows: hilosophy as an education for everyone. Thus, we want to show how philosophy can be conceived in a different way from how it is usually conceived today
