This book presents a history of spiritual exercises from Socrates to early Christianity, an account of their decline in modern philosophy, and a discussion of the different conceptions of philosophy that have accompanied the trajectory and fate of the theory and practice of spiritual exercises. Hadot's book demonstrates the extent to which philosophy has been, and still is, above all else a way of seeing and of being in the world.

This philosophical essay is the development of a lecture on probabilities which I delivered in 1795 to the normal schools whither I had been called, by a decree of the national convention, as professor of mathematics with Lagrange. I have recently published upon the same subject a work entitled The Analytical Theory of Probabilities. I present here without the aid of analysis the principles and general results of this theory, applying them to the most important questions of life, which are indeed for the most part only problems of probability.

Comedian Pierre Novellie was on stage when a heckler suggested he was autistic. Usually, this disruption would be water off a duck's back but two things made this heckler different: first, he was himself autistic. Second, he turned out to be absolutely right. This random encounter led to a diagnosis of autism at the age of 31 that unravelled his world, explained his struggles and answered questions that had bothered him for his entire life: why were the other kids obsessed with Britney Spears instead of The Goon Show? Why don't people ever say what they mean? Why is everyone chewing so loudly?

La dernière joie de Jean de Lattre de Tassigny fut d'apprendre, à la veille de sa mort le 11 janvier 1952, qu'il était élevé, et lui seul, à la dignité de maréchal de France. Maréchal, le " roi Jean ", comme on l'appelait par admiration mêlée parfois d'agacement, l'était de toute origine. Saint-Cyrien de la promotion précédant celle de Charles de Gaulle, De Lattre est de tous les combats de la première moitié du XXe siècle. Du Maroc de Lyautey au 6 février 1934, de Vichy à la capitulation de l'Allemagne le 8 mai 1945 puis à la guerre d'Indochine, il se signale par son courage, son dynamisme et son génie de la mise en scène.
