CLINICAL PHILOSOPHY AND PHILOSOPHICAL PRACTICE: A POTENTIAL AND ACTUAL DIALOGUE

Abstract

In this article, we present the text that served as the basis for the speech given at the 2nd National Dialogue of Clinical Philosophy, which took place in Brazil, in October 2017. Under the title “Philosophy Applied to the Person: dialoguing with José Barrientos Rastrojo”, the communication covers key points of the philosophical practice focused on the complexity of the human being, exposing the basic difference between Logical Argumentative Applied Philosophy (LAPA) and Experiential Applied Philosophy (EAP). In addition to proposing a dialogue with Clinical Philosophy, seeing possibilities of approaching and detecting differences, some reflections are suggested during the talk relating to the so-called democratic dialogue, Cosmocracy (Hubert Rohden) and a possible shift in the current way of thinking politics. In order to present the text, the author proposes Education as being linked with Philosophy Applied to Clinical Practice and the necessity of raising awareness of the distinction between philosophical, scientific, artistic and opinionated common-sense thoughts.
