It expresses what is most elementary--to be alive--and the absoluteness of our aspiration--finally living! But could we desire anything other than to live? In \u003ci\u003eThe Philosophy of Living\u003c\/i\u003e, François Jullien meditates on Far Eastern thought and philosophy to analyze concepts that can be folded into a complete philosophy of living, including the idea of the moment, the ambiguity of the in-between, and what he calls the \"transparency of morning.\" Jullien here develops a strategy of living that goes beyond morality and dwells in the space between health and spirituality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrançois Jullien\u003c\/b\u003e is professor at Université Paris Diderot, a member of the Institut universitaire de France, and director of the Institut de la pensée contemporaine. \u003cb\u003eKrzysztof Fijalkowski\u003c\/b\u003e is a senior lecturer in critical studies at the University of the Arts. \u003cb\u003eMichael Richardson\u003c\/b\u003e is a writer and translator.
