Wisdom as a Way of Life by Steven Collins

Foucault’s phrase “Buddhist or Far Eastern spiritual techniques” is now, in the circumstances of a globalized world and increased knowledge of it, rather quaint, and either annoying or charming depending on one’s level of charity. Perhaps he used it because the interview took place in Japan. I find the remarks about “a disindividualization, to a desubjectification … pushing individuality truly to its limits or beyond its limits, with the aim of an emancipation from the subject” a little vague, or at least difficult to interpret as they are. I will attempt to offer here, as I and many others have done elsewhere, something a little more precise in 2.3 and 2.4.13 below.

I hope that these citations from Hadot’s and Foucault’s work will attest that the comparative project I am here aiming at, however inadequate it may be, is something of which they would have approved.
