Living Philosophy is philosophy of life. We engage in philosophy to help make life more meaningful, more engaging and more enjoyable — to help you live the examined life.

(Socrates: The unexamined life is not worth living.)
Living Philosophy is always in flux - it is not dogmatic or static. You don't need to be an "expert" to engage in living philosophy.  We want everyone to be engaged in the inquiry about aspects of life.
 

What Is Living Philosophy?
Living Philosophy is philosophy of life. It is not academic philosophy, which confines itself to the reading of texts. We aim to provide access to writings and resources which may help you to participate in philosophy – the love of wisdom – as it can be used to improve your life.
The Living Philosophy Organization hopes to provide readings, discussion groups, online forums, seminars, and philosophical coaching resources that draw on the accumulated wisdom of those who have explored the problems which are of importance to us in our present daily lives – and which will help you to wise up!

Living Philosophy:

  explores readings, from philosophers, psychologists, psychoanalysts, sociologists, economists, theologians, political scientists and others whose thinking provokes us – helping us to live our lives more thoughtfully.
  aims to point those seeking to live a fuller, more examined life to some of the rich resources for self-exploration and exploration of important issues in our lives.
  is not academic philosophy. We may refer to the rich resource of philosophical writings available to us, but not just to argue the truth or falsity of this position or that, and not to attempt to fix on only one truth, but to find that which is of value in a wide variety of thinkers whose writings we can enjoy and appreciate.
  invites you to participate in our project – to make the world we live in a better and more peaceful, harmonious one, through caring about each one of us in our world.
  welcomes differences, where those differences do not divide us. It is through appreciation and understanding of difference that we can learn from each other, and appreciate the wealth of our diversity.
     









To keep philosophy in the realm of the experts is to exclude all the rest. We aim to be inclusive. So, if you engage in thinking about life. You are invited to join our conversation. Sign up here.
