Philosophy Practice
What is this ?
Philosophical Practice is a practical approach to philosophy that consists, through philosophical consultations , of:
see your existential anchors.
consider other options for your life.
to work on and develop thinking skills : argumentation, questioning, conceptualization, problematization, synthesis.
train you to develop new attitudes : confidence, confrontation, authenticity, cognitive empathy.
This practice can be called philosophical because it draws on 2,500 years of philosophical history. Our main "model" is the figure of Socrates as a tireless promoter of dialogue with others. These principles are described in Jérôme Lecoq's book, "La pratique philosophique" (Eyrolles, 2014).
Transforming Oneself Through Philosophical Practice
develop a new power over your existence through the work of thought.
to engage in deeper and more authentic relationships with those around you.
find a new source of pleasure by developing your thinking about the world and yourself.
be more relevant, more precise and more concise in your communication.
to be more structured in your thinking and in your oral and written expression.
The philosophical consultation
Philosophical consultation, on the other hand, is a face-to-face interview that aims to explore a more personal issue in greater depth.
In all cases, this practice responds to the Socratic injunction of "know thyself." We presuppose that to be an autonomous individual, an effective manager, a responsible citizen, and/or a responsible parent, one must first and foremost know oneself. However, self-knowledge generally requires self-reflection, a process of self-examination that this practice offers.
