The world gone mad and practical philosophy
The existential crisis is especially acute in times of uncertainty and social chaos, moral exhaustion, when challenges make us look for a new system of coordinates and points of support. This course is about finding the strength of the soul, satisfying development ambitions, and building a mission and meanings for a new order in an unpredictable world. The participants of this course will delve into philosophical dialogues and active reflections through joint readings and practical cases.
THE AIM OF THE COURSE IS TO PROVIDE A PHILOSOPHICAL INTERPRETATION OF THE CONCEPT OF “SOUL POWER” AS A MEASURE WITHOUT WHICH NEITHER DIGNITY NOR EFFECTIVE PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITY AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT ARE POSSIBLE
