Individual Guidance

Developing Philosophical Habit

Continuum Philosophical Insight guides individuals and small groups in developing the habit of thoughtful, critical reflection.  Put in other words, this is the habit of living philosophically.

With the guidance of a personal philosopher, you can establish clear goals for intellectual development by discovering a process of critical reflection—that is, how to ask the right questions, in the right way, and how to pursue answers to those questions—and, with consistent reinforcement, assume this process as a set of habits.

Method for Individuals

I will help guide you through these questions with semi-structured discussions conducted through a variety of media (email, text/chat, video conference) as well as with guided readings from personally-curated selections of philosophers and other great thinkers.  For the most part, this process revolves around discussing ideas, both those derived from reading great thinkers and from real life experiences—often in their overlap.

The program is specifically tailored to each individual.  Depending on what works best for you, it may include nothing other than an on-going conversation; or highly-curated reading schedules including the production of relevant writings, like an independent study course taken in college.  Additionally, if there are particular issues with which you are struggling in your life, philosophical examination may be found of value.  (However, this is neither a counseling nor a life-coaching service.)

Scheduling is highly flexible (including nights and weekends), and there is no “end”; it is an on-going process—on a month-to-month calendar—where we are always asking new questions, digging deeper into the mystery of reality, learning and re-learning and recursively strengthening our understanding.  Given the complexity and depth of this intellectual exploration, personal relationships are integral to having fruitful discussions and fostering the development of understanding and I maintain a small client base to develop these relationships, focusing on quality over quantity.
