Does philosophical counseling involve reading philosophy?
While I might occasionally make suggestions about readings that seem relevant to the issue at hand, it is rarely the case that reading is necessary. It is generally much more useful for us to focus on the specific issue that you are dealing with and to engage it rather than to consult a somewhat but not exactly related work written hundreds of years ago. While Socrates had a lot to say about the nature of justice and virtue, he never wrote anything about whether or not you should pursue a new career. Instead, what I provide is a good understanding of the concepts and ideas that philosophers have written about for thousands of years and I will help you apply that knowledge and wisdom to your current dilemma.
