Metapersonal Care as Philosophical Health
1 Introduction: The Person on Paper Leopoldine, a hypothetical woman in her late seventies facing a treatment decision, tells the team what she has told every clinician for five years: “I will not be a burden to my children!” Her capacity is unquestioned, and the requirements of person-centred care seem, on paper, to be satisfied. Whether they are indeed satisfied is the question of this article.
Can Philosophy Help Us Create the Best of All Possible Worlds? Introducing Global Philosophical Health
Imagine waking up one morning to discover that everyone on Earth suddenly shared the same deep purpose: to make our world the best it could possibly be through a profound understanding of how individual flourishing can harmonize with collective good. What would that look like? Would we all agree to think alike? Or could we maintain our differences while working towards a common horizon? These questions touch on philosophy’s most enduring concerns: How should we live? What gives life meaning?
Worlding with the Creal: Autonomous Intelligence and Philosophical Practice
1. Introduction The perennial ideal of “philosophical health”, in practice, involves a critical, creative, and embodied examination of one’s existence, beliefs, and values (de Miranda 2022), as well as the existence of others. It involves actively reflecting about integrity, self-consistency, ethics, the human condition, and beyond, such that one may be closer to living a meaningful and flourishing life.
Editorial for the 2023 philosophy thematic edition: Treating the whole person: Philosophical health
1 TREATING THE WHOLE PERSON: PHILOSOPHICAL HEALTH As recent special editions of this journal make very clear, the idea that we need to focus on the ‘whole person’, if we are to understand and better promote human health, has very much regained currency in contemporary healthcare debates.1-8 This ‘whole-person’ approach, dating back to the ancients,9 requires not only understanding a person's biology, but also seeing that person as a social being whose needs, well-being and flourishing are...

Being and Neonness by Luis de Miranda (book review)
Being & Neonness Luis de Miranda MIT Press Apr 2019 Other Luis de Miranda's work sits at the intersection of philosophy and history, which is where we find Being and Neonness, translated by Michael Wells for a new 2019 edition. De Miranda was inspired to consider the history of neon while living in Paris, where engineer Claude George invented the technology in 1912.

Evolution of Future Studies, by Tuomo Kuosa
From Dialectics to Crealectics? This article discusses the evolution of futures studies. The article starts with an evaluation of the different rival taxonomies and definitions for futures studies, and proceeds to discuss the very concept of paradigm.

I argue that there have been two paradigms in the evolution of futures studies so far, and there are signs of emergence of a new one.

Perhaps by discovering the culture in which she had grown up I would come to terms with the separation. I had a little video camera with me and, from time to time, quite rarely, I shot some film. Including at Auschwitz.
