This book provides a look at philosophical practice from the viewpoint of the practitioner or prospective practitioner. It answers the questions: What is philosophical practice? What are its aims and methods? How does philosophical counseling differ from psychological counseling and other forms of psychotherapy. How are philosophical practitioners educated and trained? How do philosophical practitioners relate to other professions? What are the politics of philosophical practice? How does one become a practitioner? What is APPA Certification? What are the prospects for philosophical practice in the USA and elsewhere? Handbook of Philosophical Practice provides an account of philosophy's current renaissance as a discipline of applied practice while critiquing the historical, social, and cultural forces which have contributed to its earlier descent into obscurity.

Professor Lou Marinoff's first book drew on the wisdom of the great philosophers to solve our everyday problems, launching a movement that restored philosophy to what it once was: useful in all walks of life. Now, in The Big Questions, he takes the concept to the next level, applying centuries of philosophy and great literature to help answer central questions of modern existence. Urging us not to accept victimhood as the by-product of modern life, Professor Marinoff uses specific case studies from his counselling practice to show how wisdom from the great thinkers can help us define our own philosophy, and thereby reclaim our sense of well-being. He asks questions that go to the heart of the human condition: How do we know what is right? What is love? How can we cope with change? Why can't we all get along? And most centrally, how can we use the centuries of wisdom that have come before us to help us answer these questions and feel at ease in the world?

Filosofía y práctica son dos palabras que no suelen vincularse, pero lo cieto es que la filosofía siempre ha proporcionado herramientas para que la persona se enfrente a los problemas prácticos de la vida cotidiana. Aunque desde Sócrates el pensamientos filosófico era una forma de vida, no una disciplina académica ni un simple objeto de estudio, a partir del XIX se vio confinada a un ala esotérica en la torre de marfil del saber teórico.
