The Art of Living by Alexander Nehamas
The idea of philosophy as an art of living has survived in the works of such modern authors as Montaigne, Nietzsche, and Foucault. This book provides a reevaluation of Socrates' place in the Western philosophical tradition and shows the importance of Socrates for Montaigne, Nietzsche, and Foucault.
