| Summary: | This essay highlights Pierre Hadot’s recovery of ancient philosophy through the lens of spiritual exercises. As the love of wisdom, philosophy provided a set of practices which nurtured a commitment to ongoing conversion from the causes that disrupt human flourishing. Mindful of Hadot’s challenge, this essay draws on the work of Bernard Lonergan to present an account of theology as a sapiential way of life. It argues that one way of contributing to this sapiential challenge is to reframe philosophical and theological wisdom as a praxis of anthropological, cosmological, and soteriological meaning. |
