Filosofia como arte de viver : uma análise da crítica de Pierre Hadot à estética da existência foucaultiana

The present work analyzes the brief, but significant, dialogue settled between Pierre Hadot and Michel Foucault in the late twentieth century. Seeks to present and discuss the theory of Pierre Hadot about the so-called spiritual exercises in relation to the aesthetic of existence advocated by Foucault in the final phase of his work, a discussion which presents numerous points of convergence and divergence between these two philosophers. Worth analyzing to what extent the critics raised by Hadot really influence the foucauldian project, or whether they are due to an inaccurate interpretation of the real objectives of Foucault.
