Philosophical practice in Italy

Over the last twenty-five years, beginning in Germany, Philosophische Praxis has spread throughout the world. It is an attempt, using new methods, to develop the "practical" dimension that has always been a part of philosophy. The movement has opened up prospects, inspired debate, and produced initiatives. On teh occasion of the Ninth World Convention in Carloforte (Sardinia) in the summer of 2008, some of the leading protagonists in the field gathered in this collective volume the summaries of their research and experience, in order to provide a clear and concrete account of how some of them have perceveid and experimented philosophical consultation and other philosophical practices over the last ten years. The volume is enriched with an introduction by Ran Lahav, the well-known Israeli pioneer in the field, a bibliography of texts originally produced in Italian, and some reading lists.
