Od ranog dvadesetog stoljeća, filozofija se općenito smatra beskorisnim akademskim zanimanjem. No najviše je takozvanih terapija razgovorom u području mentalnog zdravlja zapravo slabo maskirana ...primijenjena filozofija. Ovaj rad argumentira da poučavanje filozofijskog sadržaja i filozofijske diskurzivne vještine mogu biti od velike dobrobiti za stručnost kliničara i drugih profesionalaca u području mentalnog zdravlja.

Depuis le début du XXe siècle la philosophie est considérée de manière générale comme une branche académique inutile. Toutefois, un grand nombre de thérapies dans le domaine de la santé mentale dites les thérapies par la parole sont en réalité de la philosophie appliquée médiocrement masquée. Ce travail affirme que l’enseignement du contenu philosophique et des compétences philosophiques discursives peuvent procurer de grands bienfaits pour le savoir-faire des cliniciens et des autres professionnels dans le domaine de la santé mentale.
Seit dem frühen zwanzigsten Jahrhundert wird Philosophie gemeinhin als nutzloser akademischer Beruf erachtet. Allerdings ist ein Großteil der sogenannten Gesprächstherapien in der Sphäre der mentalen Gesundheit eine eigentlich schwach maskierte angewandte Philosophie. In diesem Artikel wird argumentiert, dass das Lehren der philosophischen Inhalte samt philosophischen diskursiven Gewandtheiten äußerst vorteilhaft für das Fachwissen von Klinikern und anderen Fachleuten im Bereich der mentalen Gesundheit sein kann.
Since the early 20th century philosophy has been generally considered to be a useless academic pursuit. But most so-called talk therapies in the field of mental healthcare are in fact thinly disguised applied philosophy. This essay argues that teaching the contents of philosophy, and the philosophical discursive skills can be of great benefit to the proficiency of clinicians and other professionals in the mental healthcare field.
It has been argued that Locke's theory of toleration is not only
flawed in some respects, but that it lacks relevance for present day
North American society since it addresses only the conditions and
...concerns of Locke's own civil society and historical period. But a
detailed analysis of the arguments in the Letter, along with an
examination of the criticisms of his letter levelled at him by his
contemporary, Jonas Proast, especially, on the issue of the use of
force to promote belief, shows that Locke's theory of toleration is in
fact logically sound and quite rigorous. Furthermore, an examination
of some of Locke's other writings reveals that Locke has based his
theory of toleration on sound political and epistemological
foundations. A scrutiny of later criticisms by Joseph Priestley,
Susan Mendus, Jeremy Waldron, and John Rawls shows that they also fail
to diminish either the force of Locke's arguments or the relevance of
his theory of toleration to present day issues surrounding religious
freedom. Although Locke's intolerance of atheists is shown to be
misplaced, it is argued that his approach to universal religious
toleration is not at odds with modern approaches from individual
rights. It is also argued that he is not mistaken in his assumption
that matters of state can, and must, be separated from matters of
religion if the peace and security of a state are to be maintained.
Locke's theory of toleration is therefore shown to be neither
parochial nor historically bound.
This dissertation critiques both the existing theoretical conceptions of philosophical
counselling and accounts of its practice. It also compares philosophical counselling with
psychotherapy in order ...to point out the fallacy of the argument that philosophical
counselling is radically removed from all forms of psychotherapy.
It then presents and defends a four-stage model of philosophical counselling that
captures the best conceptions and reports of practice, one that is more comprehensive,
more positive (as opposed to the more common characterization of what it is not) more
explicit, and more definitive in its conceptualization than any that have been offered in
the philosophical counselling literature thus far. Furthermore, this model addresses more
of the actual needs of potential clients as they are highlighted in descriptive accounts and
case studies, and conforms more closely to justifiable normative criteria of what ought to
constitute practice in philosophical counselling than any of the currently existing models.
The final chapter highlights those areas in which philosophical counselling is superior
to the approaches found in psychotherapy, and explores the benefits of philosophical
counselling over other forms of counselling.
