Abstract

The spiritual modalization of knowledge (savoir) in Marcus Aurelius: the work of analyzing representations; defining and describing; seeing and naming; evaluating and testing; gaining access to the grandeur of the soul. ~ Examples of spiritual exercises in Epictetus. ~ Christian exegesis and Stoic analysis of representations. ~ Return to Marcus Aurelius: exercises of the decomposition of the object in time; exercises of the analysis of the object into its material components; exercises of the reductive description of the object. ~ Conceptual structure of spiritual knowledge (savoir). ~ Faust.
