Welcome to a two day introduction training in philosophical practice!

Philosophical practice is basically to” do” philosophy through dialogue. Earliest inspiration seems from Socrates (469 b.c - 399 b.c). Its more recent form was developed since the 80ies with a various methods, perspective and theories used for the practicing one on one or in communities of inquiry. Areas of application are philosophy for/with children, in healthcare, in public spaces and in organizations.

In practicing we investigates through dialogue the big mysteries in life such as meaning, value, knowledge and ethical issues.

During the weekend we will be practicing in group sessions in large and smaller groups mixed with shorter lectures.

• What is philosophical practice
• Philosophical question and the role of question
• Dialogue in philosophical practice
• Exercise using an event such as picture, music or poem
• Investigating the concepts of listening, curiosity and courage in relation to philosophical practice

We will use/encourage the use of a log for reflections
