1. You Must Change Your Life
On Anthropotechnics
A wide-ranging philosophical essay that argues human beings are formed through practices and disciplines—what the author calls “anthropotechnics”—tracing traditions of asceticism, spiritual exercises, athletics, and self-improvement from antiquity through Nietzsche to modern life; it shows how cultures invent techniques that shape bodies, minds, and social orders, claims that life requires ongoing cultivation and training, and raises ethical and political questions about which forms of self-fashioning we adopt in an era of powerful technologies and institutions.
