Philosophical Councelling

As I delved more and more into philosophy, it almost automatically stepped out of the “traditional” framework and infiltrated all areas of my life. The nature of life is fundamentally complicated, I have experienced through my own example how special and effective this science is to see ourselves and the processes around us more clearly. I would like to give this opportunity to those who are open to common thinking about the questions that often result in anxiety, uncertainty and bewilderment or the challenges of joy and success. 

What is philosophical advice?

Philosophical counseling is a form of philosophical practice. An opportunity for the participant to receive special attention at the two-person meeting, where the philosopher’s attention is focused only on his world of thought. It is usually used by people who are fundamentally interested in self-knowledge, and for them, the creation, shaping and practice of their own world of thought is of special value, a form of a better life. 

The two-hour frame provides space for the address, question, and reflection of the named situation. In the common thought process, the philosopher, like a midwife, caringly helps the visitor to discover. 

The purpose of counseling

Philosophical counseling is not a medical intervention in life’s problems, I do not diagnose or treat emotional or behavioral disorders. His goal is for my thinking partner to see more clearly, to be able to choose in different dilemmas, to reflect more on himself, and thus to live a more meaningful, virtuous and, consequently, happier life. 

From a lonely sport, a social experience: two forms of practice

Philosophical interest is often a lonely “sport” practiced by reading books or listening to lectures, or even an ad hoc friendly conversation. The two forms of practice, the philosophical counseling and the philosophical coffee house, complement them, their visit is a practice that supports intellectual life. The two events can affect each other; Those who participate in the former are further inspired by the latter. These practices create space and time for thought reflection, show the values inherent in social thinking, and have a significant impact on our individual thinking. 

Visitors to the Philosophical Café have repeatedly reported that their image of unknown people has completely changed after thinking together. As a result of the practice, our thinking loosens, looking at our fixed roles, it is possible to form, build, strengthen and experience one’s own world of thought.
