About

The programme represents one of the best known postgraduate HE programmes worldwide that feed at academic level the emerging composite field of philosophical practice, and the only taught in English in Europe. Its main purpose is the intense and comprehensive high-quality formation of well-trained professionals in applied/practical philosophy, which include philosophical counselling and consultancy for individuals and organizations, ethical counselling, and philosophy for children. Employing solid philosophical knowledge and general counselling skills, the successful graduates learn to facilitate the thinking of a client or group of people. Mainly driven by social utility, they do not seek to interpret the thoughts of an individual client or group in terms of impersonal philosophy, but to link thoughts to actions in the day-to-day life. The attainment of philosophical counselling objectives takes place, progressively, through the therapeutic engagement of philosophy via the five methods it generated: critical thinking, conceptual analysis, phenomenology, thought experiments, and creative thinking.
