Stepping Out of Plato's Cave

Plato's
famous Allegory of the Cave teaches us that philosophy can transform
our life and elevate it. It can help us understand the narrow "cave" in
which we are imprisoned and inspire us to step out of it towards greater
horizons.

This is the vision of Philosophical
Practice, an international movement of philosophers who believe that
philosophy can help us live our life more fully and deeply. Ran Lahav, a
major contributor to the development of this field, presents here the
approach which he has been developing for more than 20 years.

This
book discusses the principles of Philosophical Practice and explains
how they can be applied in counseling, self-reflection groups,
companionships, and the individual's personal search. Many case-studies
illustrate the process in an accessible way. This is a complete guide
for philosophers, counselors, psychologists, and anybody who wants to
take a philosophical journey towards a deeper life.
