Show Notes

I first learned about Pierre Hadot in a John Milbank book, and ever since I’ve read everything of his that I could get my hands on.  Hadot’s revolutionary power resides not in a particular claim or argument but in a method: he investigates Plato and the Stoics and eventually even Wittgenstein as shapers of lives, teachers who lead disciples into new ways of life through philosophical disciplines.  Although Hadot is not one of the heroes of The Kantian Religion–and we might get back to Hadot at some point–Dr. Ian Hunter’s recent book, Hunter brings Kant into that same revolutionary matrix, investigating the ways that Kant, for many the picture of a detached modern philosopher, was making disciples with his philosophy.  Christian Humanist Profiles is glad to welcome Dr. Hunter to the show to talk about this fascinating book.
