The studies included in the Care of the Self: Ancient Problematizations of Life and Contemporary Thought focus on different manifestations of âtaking care of the selfâ present in ancient and contemporary thought. Each of these studies approaches the issue of taking care of the self from a different perspective: Part I by Vladislav Suvák focuses on Socratesâ therapeutic education; Part II by LÃvia Flachbartová centres on Diogenesâ ascetic practices; and Part III by Pavol Sucharek concentrates on Henri Maldineyâs existential phenomenology.
Taking care of the self (epimeleia heautou) is not just one of a great many topics associated with ancient ethics. Echoing Michel Foucault, we could say that the care of the self applies to all problematizations of life.
