en-wikipedia-org-2838		Pierre Hadot - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	1743	257	66	Pierre Hadot (/ɑːˈdoʊ/; French: [ado]; 21 February 1922 – 24 April 2010) was a French philosopher and historian of philosophy specializing in ancient philosophy, particularly Neoplatonism. He identified and analyzed the "spiritual exercises" used in ancient philosophy (influencing the thought of Michel Foucault in the second and third volumes of his History of Sexuality). intended to effect a modification and a transformation in the subjects who practice them.[8] The philosophy teacher's discourse could be presented in such a way that the disciple, as auditor, reader, or interlocutor, could make spiritual progress and transform himself within."[9] Hadot shows that the key to understanding the original philosophical impulse is to be found in Socrates.
