The Philosophy of Living (The Seagull Library of French Literature)

This volume asks poignant questions about what it means to be alive and inhabit the present.Living holds us between two places.

It expresses what is most elementaryto be aliveand the absoluteness of our aspirationfinally living!

But could we desire anything other than to live?

In The Philosophy of Living, Franois Jullien meditates on Far Eastern thought and philosophy to analyze concepts that can be folded into a complete philosophy of living, including the idea of the moment, the ambiguity of the inbetween, and what he calls the transparency of morning.

Jullien here develops a strategy of living that goes beyond morality and dwells in the space between health and spirituality.
