Philosophy is a continuous conversation between people who are interested in the both the big, and the ordinary questions of life. This conversation has been exploring what it is to be a human, and how we can live our lives as individuals, and with each other within our societies, for nearly three thousand years.
For the last few centuries it has gradually located itself within academic institutions, however Philosophical Practitioners are now coming back out into the community. Combining the insights of both Philosophy and Psychotherapy, within the context of a counselling process. This approach to Philosophy has been rediscovered over the last few decades both in Europe and North America. It is often called a Socratic approach to Philosophy, because it was Socrates who first took to the streets of Athens to talk to everyone that was interested, about the questions and problems of human life. He focused on Practical Wisdom.
As a Philosophical Practitioner Josephson wants to help people to embrace wisdom as they deal with the problems of living. Through directed questioning and discussion, as individuals and within groups, Philosophy can open up our thinking, and expand our understanding of ourselves. This helps us understand others, and the moral dimension of action in the world. It helps us look at meaning and purpose within the framework of our values, so that the answers we find to the dilemma's of life, are true and authentic to who we are, and who we want to be.
