What does it mean to become a sound mind in a healthy body and
harmonious environment? This engaging introduction to the new field of
philosophical health, written by its forerunner, presents the core
tenets of the discipline. It explains in clear and elegant prose how a
reflexive practice of sense-making can create a eudynamic balance
between six existential senses: body, self, belonging, possibility,
purpose, and the philosophical sense. Luis de Miranda, inspired by
nearly a decade of practice as a philosophical counsellor – with
individuals, groups, institutions, NGO's and corporations – offers a
pragmatic open system that is supported with evidence from
psychological science, various philosophical traditions or
contemporary theories, as well as fascinating real stories from world
wisdom. Meaning in action is clearly the new way ahead for philosophy,
rediscovered here as the responsible and practical big sister – if
not queen – of all disciplines and ways of life. The international
philosophical health movement is the long-awaited response, globally
and locally, to the overall confusion the world fell into due to
mindless processes and unexamined behaviour. This book shows us how,
in a spirit of compossibility and oneness in diversity we now can, at
last, intercreate a harmonious, rich, and diverse planetary
civilisation.
