Stepping Out of Plato's Cave

As Plato’s famous Allegory of the Cave teaches us, philosophy can transform our life and elevate it. It can help us understand the narrow “cave” in which we are imprisoned and inspire us to step out of it towards greater horizons. This book discusses the theory and practice of philosophical practice in counseling, self-reflection groups, and the individual’s personal search. Many case-studies illustrate the process in an accessible way. This is a complete guide for anybody who wants to take a philosophical journey towards a deeper life.
