This paper tries to go in depth in to the meaning of the expression of philosophy as a way of life in Pierre Hadot in the Eneadas III and Plotino V, that relate One, the first hypostasis with the need of embarking and conversion of the human soul as telos of philosophy. In other words, there is an exploration of the indivisible union between philosophy as a discourse and as an experience of transformation through the mystic approach, that is, a reinterpretation of Plotinian philosophy that integrates our thirst for knowledge and the need to become others.
