I discuss the relation between life and ontology, between philosophy as a guide to living and philosophy as the study of being. Unlike philosophers who treat Hellenistic philosophy as a form of therapy (Nussbaum, Foucault, Hadot), I show how Agamben interprets Hellenistic philosophy as oppressive by turning the theory of being into an injunction of having-to-be. For Agamben, every philosophy implies a certain form of life, and it is thus impossible to distinguish between ontology and living. The aim of philosophy, therefore, is not to be therapeutic but rather to develop an ontology that will allow for humanity to live without oppression. Through a detailed reading of Cicero's concept of "nature," I develop the reading and critique of Cicero suggested by Agamben. Cet article analyse la relation entre l'ontologie et la philosophie pratique dans l'oeuvre de Cicéron et le rôle joué par la philosophie hellénistique dans l'oeuvre de Giorgio Agamben. Il discute la relation entre la vie et l'ontologie, entre la philosophie comme guide de savoir- vivre et la philosophie comme étude de l'être. Contrairement aux philosophes qui traitent la philosophie hellénistique comme une forme de thérapie (Nussbaum, Foucault, Hadot), je montre que Agamben interprète la philosophie hellénistique comme essentiellement oppressive en transformant la théorie de l'être en une injonction normative de devoir-être. Pour Agamben, toute philosophie implique une certaine forme de vie, rendant alors la distinction entre l'ontologie et la vie impossible. Ainsi, le but de la philosophie n'est pas d'être thérapeutique mais plutôt de développer une ontologie qui permettra à l'humanité de vivre sans oppression. Par une lecture du concept de la «nature» de Cicéron, je développe l'interprétation et la critique de Cicéron proposé par Agamben. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Symposium: Canadian Journal of Continental Philosophy / Revue Canadienne de Philosophie Continentale is the property of Canadian Society for Continental Philosophy and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
