Private Philosophical Counseling
Life can be overwhelming, and we often make things worse through our patterns of reasoning. Philosophy can help you with that.
Life has a way of throwing philosophical puzzles at us:
Should we be moral when so many people around us behave immorally, and, if so, why?
What are my values?
How authentic should I be?
What should I do when my values conflict?
When should I escalate conflict and when should I de-escalate it?
When should I try to shape the world in accordance with my desires and when should I accept the world as it is?
These puzzles, and many more, can be challenging to navigate on your own. Luckily, philosophers have been working on these puzzles for thousands of years, and you can benefit from this work today.
Through private philosophy counseling, we will explore the puzzles that have arisen for you in your life in a caring and supportive environment. You will learn how to identify errors in reasoning that are holding you back and replace them with antidotes drawn from the most pertinent parts of the philosophical canon.
