Synopsis
Are you philosophically healthy? Do your actions reflect your thoughts, do your words mirror your values, or do you live in contradiction with and ignorance of your deepest values, beliefs and of your implicit worldview?
This first introduction to the new field of philosophical health, written by its forerunner, Luis de Miranda, explores the 6 elements of the discipline, including the senses of body, self, belonging, possibility, purpose, and the philosophical sense. Explaining step by step how a reflexive practice of sense-making can create a holistic and dynamic harmony between these six existential senses, Miranda weaves here a pragmatic system around the six corresponding active qualities: intuition (the truth of the body), honesty (the truth of the person); joy (the truth of relationship); creation (the truth of the Real); freedom (the truth of destiny); and meaning, the truth of philosophy.
Each chapter will be placed in conversation with a specific modern philosopher who is relevant to understanding what is at stake: Bergson for embodied intuition, Descartes for self-honesty, Spinoza for well-belonging, in order to make existential stances explicit, thus more relevant and actionable in practice.
Featuring working examples of how to achieve philosophical health, this book is a useful and practical guide for the practice of philosophical health and any discipline that deals – or should deal – with meaning, it is also a sober toolkit for any aspiring healthy mind in a healthy body. Philosophical health is not only about self-help or self-development: it is a needed response to current mindless processes in globalisation if we are to build a harmonious and caring planetary civilisation.

Paperback. Condition: New. 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.
