Das Konzept ‚Leben‘ in der Geschichte der Philosophie | Le concept de ,vie‘ dans l’histoire de la philosophie

The concept of "life" has always been part of the basic philosophical topoi. In Greek antiquity, the question of what constitutes a "good" or "successful" life was regarded as a fundamental question of philosophy. As a result, early philosophers engaged in practice-oriented philosophizing which regarded philosophy as a form of life. In Modern philosophy, the term "life" became a technical term in different philosophical traditions such as the philosophy of life, philosophy of existence, and phenomenology. This volume brings together contributions in German and French that explore the concept of "life" historically and systematically, focusing on metaphysical, anthropological, and ethical issues.
