Philosophical Profile and Consultation Package (Online)

 

For those seeking a deeper understanding of themselves through philosophy, we offer a personalized and reflective package. This experience combines two key activities designed to help you explore your own thinking and engage in meaningful philosophical dialogue—both with others and, most importantly, with yourself.

Philosophical Profile

Complete a questionnaire consisting of 20 thought-provoking questions, designed as a reflective exercise. Based on your responses, you will receive a detailed philosophical profile that offers insights into your thinking patterns, psychological tendencies, and ways of engaging with yourself and the world. The profile focuses on both your cognitive and psychological inclinations.

Philosophical Consultation

Following the completion of your profile, you will engage in a 1-hour 1-on-1 consultation where we explore a philosophical question or topic of your choice. This is followed by a 30-minute reflective discussion, connecting the insights from your profile to the reflections and discoveries made during the consultation.

 

Who is this for?

This package is ideal for those looking to:

  • Explore their thought processes and inner philosophy.
  • Engage in reflective dialogue on personal or existential questions.
  • Deepen their self-understanding through philosophical inquiry.

 

Structure

  • Philosophical Profile: Delivered after completing a set of 20 reflective questions.
  • Consultation: A 1-hour session focused on a topic of your choice, followed by 30 minutes to connect the consultation with your profile.

 

Schedule

  • The questionnaire is sent via Google Docs by email, and you will have up to 2 weeks to complete it.
  • The profile is sent back to you within 10-15 days.
  • Consultation is scheduled on Zoom within 2 weeks after receiving the profile. Day and time are flexible to accommodate your availability. 

 

Anyone interested can request more information. For pricing, please contact us directly.

Individual training online

For those wishing to train in philosophical practice, the Institute of Philosophical Practices offers individual training, online, using Zoom or Skype and Google Docs. It is a program of ten weekly sessions, 90 minutes, accompanied by individual work, with a philosopher practitioner. The goal is to discover and practice different philosophical skills: to practice argumentation, analysis, conceptualization, problematization, etc.
The program is built on various themes.

For example:

  • reflections around a Buddhist tale.
  • Interpretation of a Chekhov story.
  • How to problematize with questions.
  • Study of texts by Nietzsche, Spinoza and Hegel.
  • How to do a self-consultation.
  • How to evaluate someone based on their answers to a series of questions.
  • Interpretation of a Raphael painting.

Anyone interested can ask to watch the video of a session in order to better understand the work.

 These courses can be held in different languages: English, French, Spanish, Italian and Russian.

Written work

For those who do not wish to work via Skype, we also offer a written online training program.

Just like for audiovisual tutoring, you will be assigned a philosopher practitioner, who will send you regular exercises, followed by a rapid feedback on the work done.

This can take different forms:

  • In marathon, daily, intensive (for 15 days or one month)
  • In a more leisurely way, 1 or 2 times a week (time to be determined)

For example: You receive an exercise on Monday. For Thursday, the exercise must be done. In less than a day, the tutor evaluates the exercise, and sends you a new one, which must be returned for the following Sunday.

The exchange can take place on the platform of your choice (WhatsApp, Messenger, Viber etc.), although the best is to work directly on a Google doc.

The work can take place in two ways: either by theme (philosophical texts, stories, musical works, paintings and others.) It is also possible to propose a theme. The second option is a work on philosophical skills (arguing, problematizing, conceptualizing, evaluating, interpreting, questioning, presupposing).
