철학과 철학실천 : 철학적 인간학적 관점에서 바라본 철학상담

초록

The philosophical counseling that started with Achenbach is a movement to practise philosophy; and it has expanded its base rapidly despite its comparatively short history, thanks to the interest of many philosophers and other persons as well. Philosophical practice goes beyond simply emphasizing the practical aspect of philosophy as opposed to theoretical philosophy. It focuses on a specific area of philosophical counseling and treatment to heal human beings through philosophy. Its fundamental purpose is to provide counseling and treatment, but it has become an urgent task to prove the unique identity of philosophical practice as compared to existing treatments of psychoanalytic or psychological counseling. A philosophical debate over theory and practice is nothing new to us. However, the attitude of practising philosophy that is displayed by the philosophical practice of today demands fresh new questions on the essence of philosophy. On what is the self-justification of philosophical counseling based? Especially, on what grounds does philosophical counseling approach the treatment of human beings under the name of philosophy? These philosophical questions on the grounds and possibilities of philosophical counseling and treatment are core tasks that should precede methodological questions. This study examines the meaning and tasks of philosophical counseling as philosophical practice centering on the philosophical practice of Achenbach. It does so from a philosophical-anthropological point of view which explores the understanding of human beings. It raises questions to determine the position of philosophical counseling and to enunciate its essence and identity in the field of philosophy. It raises fundamental questions to establish the theoretical basis and sound practice of philosophical counseling.
