{"product_id":"care-of-the-self-vladislav-suvzak-9789004357075","title":"Care of the Self: Ancient Problematizations of Life and Contemporary Thought","description":"The studies included in the \u003ci\u003eCare of the Self: Ancient Problematizations of Life and Contemporary Thought\u003c\/i\u003e focus on different manifestations of \"taking care of the self\" present in ancient and contemporary thought. 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.\u003cbr\u003eTaking care of the self (\u003ci\u003eepimeleia heautou\u003c\/i\u003e) 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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vladislav Suvák,Lívia Flachbartová,Pavol Sucharek\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004357076\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004357075\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/23\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 0.40d","brand":"Vladislav Suvák","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440416403711,"sku":"9789004357075","price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9ed5cc5b-c18e-4094-ba61-291065472846.jpg?v=1777182304","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/care-of-the-self-vladislav-suvzak-9789004357075","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
