SUMMARY:Curing through Questioning: Philosophy as Therapy Across Ancient Traditions and Modern Applications
UID:20260502T043525Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-6b96c54f56-bljdq
TZID:Asia/Nicosia
LOCATION:Oxford\, United Kingdom\, United Kingdom
DESCRIPTION:<p>Looking back to the ancient world\, a common thread connecting a wide range of traditions is an inherent link between theoretical questioning and therapeutic practices. Our aim is twofold. First\, to bridge the purported gulf between theoretical philosophy and its corresponding practical aspects either in leading a good life in general or in specific therapeutic applications. Secondly\, to highlight the transformational power of philosophical practices\, and to illustrate how such practices have been deeply embedded in a wide variety of traditions throughout history.&nbsp\; This conference calls for an interdisciplinary approach. By drawing on ideas from different academic fields that traditionally do not engage with one another&mdash\;including Philosophy\, Classics\, Oriental Studies\, Theology\, and Psychology&mdash\;we will tap into the cultural and historical resources necessary to examine the philosophical foundations of therapy from various perspectives. As rigorous comparative studies are starting to show\, bringing together ideas from around the globe can be eye-opening\, insofar as such ideas can be mutually illuminating. We thus hope to reconnect the development of therapeutic practices to their theoretical underpinnings across different cultures.
