Spiritual Dialogue as a Philosophical Therapy and Its Educational Enlightenment

Spiritual Dialogue as a Philosophical Therapy and Its Educational Enlightenment

Hanyu Xu, Longxiang Luo

Abstract: Philosophical therapy is the theme of philosophical practice movement. This theme was originally to revive the tradition of ancient Greek philosophy to face spiritual problems and return to daily life. However, in the context of the prosperity of psychology, philosophical therapy is regarded as a supplement or an alternative to psychotherapy. The inverted relationship is the expression of forgetting the nature of philosophy. If we go back to the ancient Socratic philosophy and combine the object of philosophy with the efficacy of philosophy, we will find that the fundamental way of rational enlightenment education and treatment of mental diseases must be spiritual dialogue. Further, spiritual dialogue not only reflects the nature of philosophy and restores the ancient tenet of “spiritual therapy” of philosophy, but also organically combines philosophy with pedagogy, which has a two-way enlightenment for philosophy and pedagogy.

Key words: Philosophical Therapy, Spiritual Dialogue, Self-Improvement, Pedagogy

作为哲学治疗的心灵对话及其对教育的启示

许晗昱, 罗龙祥

摘要：哲学治疗是哲学践行运动的主题，这原本是复兴古希腊哲学直面心灵问题与回归日常生活的传统，但在心理学兴盛背景之下却被看作是心理治疗的补充。这种颠倒的关系是遗忘哲学本性的表现。如果我们追溯至古老的苏格拉底哲学，并将哲学的对象和哲学的功效结合起来，就会发现作为理性启蒙教育以及治疗心灵疾病的根本方式必定是心灵对话。进一步来看，心灵对话不仅体现了哲学的本性并恢复了哲学“心灵治疗”古老宗旨，而且也将哲学与教育学有机结合起来了，对于哲学和教育学有着双向启示。
