CFP for a special issue of the journal Metaphilosophy on Philosophy as a Way of Life.
The notion of philosophy as a way of life has roots in antiquity in the work of thinkers from a wide variety of cultural and intellectual traditions. For these thinkers, the practice of philosophy was not confined to the investigation of concepts and terms, but had the broader purpose of providing guidance on how to live. However, philosophical interest in providing guidance on how to live and on thinking of philosophy itself as a way of life has not been restricted to the ancient period or to western philosophical traditions. One finds such themes present in the work of modern and contemporary thinkers as well, and recently the topic has been revived as a subject of interest due to the work of a diverse range of scholars, including Michel Foucault, Pierre Hadot, and John Cooper.
