Luis de Miranda (Author)
Luis de Miranda lives in the Stockholm archipelago, Sweden, and is a philosophical practitioner and a researcher at Uppsala University, where he currently works on the theory and practice of philosophical health at the Center for Medical Humanities and Social Sciences. A Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Edinburgh (2017), Luis is an international author of non-fiction and fiction (although he decided to stop writing fiction in 2011, his novels continue to be translated). Some of his books, for example an introduction to Artificial Intelligence and Robotics or the novella Who Killed the Poet?, have been translated into a dozen languages. His essay Being and Neonness was published by MIT Press in 2019, and Ensemblance by Edinburgh University Press in 2020.Luis authored his first books in French, for example his philosophical history of computers, L’Art d’être libres au temps des automates, or his metapsychological analysis of capitalism and enjoyment, Peut-on jouir du capitalisme? Lacan avec Heidegger et Marx. Shortly after Is a New Life Possible? Deleuze and the Lines was published in English in 2013, he was offered a research scholarship by the University of Edinburgh to complete a PhD, with a focus on the philosophy and conceptual history of esprit de corps (which led to the book Ensemblance). There he also initiated interdisciplinary research in AI-Humanities, anthrobotics and the philosophy of technology, within the CRAG group, an interdisciplinary hub he founded in 2015.In 2018, Luis de Miranda launched The Philosophical Parlour experience, through which he offers personalised philosophical dialogue and counseling inspired by his crealectic theory. Also trained as a Lacanian psychoanalyst, he is a certified practicing member of the Swedish Society for Philosophical Practice (SSFP) and a certified member of the American Philosophical Practitioners Association (APPA). In 2019, he initiated the network Philosophical Health International. He also helps international corporations such as Vattenfall or Teaminside with philosophical health sessions and in transitioning beyond sustainability, towards crealectic and regenerative growth models.Read more about this authorRead less about this author

What does it mean to become a sound mind in a healthy body and harmonious environment? This engaging introduction to the new field of philosophical health, written by its forerunner, presents the core tenets of the discipline. It explains in clear and elegant prose how a reflexive practice of sense-making can create a eudynamic balance between six existential senses: body, self, belonging, possibility, purpose, and the philosophical sense.

Luis de Miranda, inspired by nearly a decade of practice as a philosophical counsellor – with individuals, groups, institutions, NGO’s and corporations – offers a pragmatic open system that is supported with evidence from psychological science, various philosophical traditions or contemporary theories, as well as fascinating real stories from world wisdom. Meaning in action is clearly the new way ahead for philosophy, rediscovered here as the responsible and practical big sister – if not queen – of all disciplines and ways of life.

The international philosophical health movement is the long-awaited response, globally and locally, to the overall confusion the world fell into due to mindless processes and unexamined behaviour. This book shows us how, in a spirit of compossibility and oneness in diversity we now can, at last, intercreate a harmonious, rich, and diverse planetary civilisation.
