Welcome to the course on Practical Philosophy.
Philosophy (from Greek: φιλοσοφία, Philosophia, 'love of wisdom’ ) is the study of general and fundamental questions, such as those about…
· existence,
· reason,
· knowledge,
· values,
· mind,
· language,
· the real purpose of life
· …and the nature of spirituality.
Such questions are often posed as problems to be studied or resolved.
Philosophical methods include…
· questioning,
· critical discussion,
· rational argument,
· …and systematic presentation.
Historically, in Western countries, philosophy encompassed all bodies of knowledge and a practitioner was known as a philosopher. In the East, especially China the person with an understanding of philosophical issues was known as a Sage.
In the 19th century, the growth of modern research universities led academic philosophy and other disciplines to professionalize and specialize. Since then, various areas of investigation that were traditionally part of philosophy have become separate academic disciplines, and namely the social sciences such as psychology, sociology, and economics.
The modern division of philosophy into theoretical philosophy and practical philosophy has its origin in Ancient Greece.
The one has a theory for exploration and the other for application and practice.
Examples of practical philosophy subjects that are addressed in the course include:
· Ethics - The branch of knowledge that deals with moral principles.
· Aesthetics - The branch of philosophy that deals with the principles of beauty and artistic taste.
· Behavioral Economics - Applied Game Theory to follow patterns in your environment
· Decision theory – How to make effective, productive, and self-aware choices
· Philosophical counseling - the use of philosophy and philosophical techniques in everyday life. This can take a number of forms including reflective practice, personal philosophical thinking, philosophical counseling, and in Life Coaching
