In this much-needed study, historical \u003ci\u003elebensphilosophie\u003c\/i\u003e is returned to the core of philosophical investigations and revealed in the contemporary ascendency of 'life' in philosophical thinking.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eScholars from aesthetics, bioethics and ontology examine how the notion of life has made its way into \u003cbr\u003econtemporary philosophical discussions. They identify three main themes: the shift toward biological and technological views of life, altering Dilthey and Nietzsche's emphasis on historical life over biological life; the relationship between biopolitics and political liberalism and the re-emergence of the idea of life - so important for the traditional life-philosophers - in recent discussions about care of the self, existential gratitude skepticism and the emotions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnticipating new directions of philosophical thinking, this study restores a vital school of thought to crucial discussions about the dangers of contemporary politics and the threat of new technologies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eScott M.
