Origins, practices, and debates
Modern philosophy shifts the authority of texts, the relation between reason and experience, and the description of the subject. Spinoza rebuilds ethics from nature, Nietzsche questions the value of values, while Pierre Hadot returns exercises and forms of life to the centre of philosophy’s history.
This category covers incompatible movements. It locates works in the corpus without merging them into a common doctrine, and detailed pages keep their conflicts visible.
