Goethe sought both an intense experience of the present moment as well as a kind of cosmic consciousness, both of which are rooted in ancient philosophical practices.

Ultimately, Hadot reveals how Goethe cultivated a deep love for life that brings to the forefront a new maxim: Don t forget to live.
