WELCOME TO THE PHILO-PRACTICE AGORA!
The electronic meeting-place of philosophical practitioners from around the world
Philosophical Practice is an international movement of philosophers who believe that philosophy is relevant to everyday life and to the person in the street. Philosophical Practitioners work with individuals, groups, and organizations, as well as among themselves in order to reflect on basic life-issues and personal predicaments. The Philosophical Practice Agora website is designed to create a space for pluralistic dialogue among philosophical practitioners from around the world, as well as the general public.
