Soul Therapy
The course suggests that traditional talk therapy and psychotherapy have their limitations. It recommends using philosophical wisdom as a way to cope with life, whether it be a specific problem and/or or general depression. Applying Kant's categorical imperative to a relationship problem and then Hindusim to a midlife crisis; as though they were creams for different parts of the body may strike thoughtful people as contrived. The real message is that it is necessary to have your own philosophy, because the unexamined life is not worth living (or a least a lot harder,). This course may prove invaluable to people who feel as though they are alone, struggling with their problems, in an incoherent universe.
Academic Supervisor: Robert Burton Bradley
