{{Disambig}}
By 'spiritual exercises' [[Pierre Hadot]] means, "practices which could be physical, as in dietary regimes, or discursive, as in dialogue and mediation, or intiuitive, as in comtemplation, but which were all intended to effect a modification and a transformation in the subject who practice them. The philosophy teacher's discourse could be presented in such a way that the disciple, as auditor, reader, or interlocutor, could make spiritual progress and transform himself [sic] within."<ref name="Hadot">{{cite book
