Notes
1 Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 2.1, trans. G. Long, revised (Mineola: Dover, 1997) 8.
2 John Sellars has pointed out to me that the original Greek title of the Meditations was, in fact, tôn eis heauton, which is translated as “to himself.”
3 Meditations 4.37 (Dover edn, 25).
4 “Philosophy as a Way of Life,” in Philosophy as a Way of Life: Spiritual Exercises from Socrates to Foucault, trans. Michael Chase, ed. Arnold Davidson (Oxford: Blackwell, 1995) 265. Hadot has a more extended discussion of Aurelius's thought in The Inner Citadel: The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius (Cambridge, MA: Harvard UP, 2001).
5 The Hermeneutics of the Subject: Lectures at the Collège de France 1981–1982, trans. Graham Burchell, ed. Frédéric Gros (New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2005) 292.
6 “Spiritual Exercises,” in Philosophy as a Way of Life 82.

17 “Self Writing,” in Ethics: Truth and Subjectivity, ed. Paul Rabinow (New York: The New Press, 1997) 207–22, at 209. As I remarked above, however, we must bear in mind that Foucault's approach to the idea of “truth” is very different from that of the ancients.

19 See my The Moral Theory of Poststructuralism (cited above).
