More than surveying ancient ethical or political ideas, the chapters develop divergent yet resonant approaches to concrete ways of living, acting, reflecting, and being with others found in antiquity and its reception. The practices involve the habits, exercises, activities, philosophies, and lives of today?s readers; and so most chapters encourage the reader to do something, to put the ideas into practice. Withstanding a temptation to simply theorize practice, it insists on the embodied and shared materiality of living in singular times and places. The practical encounters between this book and its readers range across antiquity and the contemporary world, from political theatre, casuistry, and slavery to book production, friendship, and our own mortality. Through thinker-practitioner collaborations, occasional pieces, exhortations to readers, and recipes for action, this work strives to articulate and cultivate old and new practices for our lives. 606 $aCivilization, Modern$xAncient influences 606 $aPhilosophy, Ancient 606 $aPHILOSOPHY / History & Surveys / Ancient & Classical$2bisacsh 615 0$aCivilization, Modern$xAncient influences. 615 0$aPhilosophy, Ancient. 615 7$aPHILOSOPHY / History & Surveys / Ancient & Classical. 676 $a909.8 702 $aAubenque$b Pierre$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aBasarab$b Vlad$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aBrill$b Sara$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aCavarero$b Adriana$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aFord$b Casey$f1987-,$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aGreenstine$b Abraham Jacob$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aGreenstone$b Abraham Jacob$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aGuilmette$b Lauren$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aHenao Castro$b Andrés Fabián$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aHolmes$b Brooke$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aHuffer$b Lynne$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aIldefonse$b Frédérique$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aJohnson$b Ryan J.$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aJohnson$b Ryan J.$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aLeib$b Robert S.$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aLewis$b Isabel$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aMacherey$b Pierre$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aMesing$b Dave$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aMesing$b Dave$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aNail$b Thomas$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aVartabedian$b Becky$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aVeillard$b Christelle$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aWeinman$b Michael$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910908699803321 996 $aContemporary Encounters with Ancient Practice$94343963 997 $aUNINA
