| Summary: | This paper examines Shaftesburys reflections on the nature of philosophy in his Askêmata notebooks, which draw heavily on the Roman Stoics Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius. In what follows, I introduce the notebooks, outline Shaftesburys account of philosophy therein, compare it with his discussions of the nature of philosophy in his published works, and conclude by suggesting that Pierre Hadots conception of philosophy as a way of life offers a helpful framework for thinking about Shaftesburys account of philosophy. |
