Luis de Miranda (Editor)
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

Bringing together leading international and interdisciplinary scholars, this ground-breaking volume examines the theory and practice of philosophical health in contemporary contexts of care broadly understood, care for the self, care for the other, and care for the world. But what do we mean by philosophical health? Whilst this book does not seek to provide a normative definition, as it explores disparate perspectives and encourages pluralism in philosophical ways of life, one may envision philosophical health as a state of creative coherence between a person’s or a group’s way of thinking and their way of acting, such that the possibilities for a good life are increased, and the needs for flourishing satisfied.

An idea central to philosophical health is the concept of ‘possibility'. Without a sense of self-possibility and openness to the future, health loses meaning, and conversely, pathologies are defined by various kinds of impossibilities.

As such, philosophical health reconsiders care as a process of cultivating or pruning the compossible in embodied, psychological, and social terms, of allowing things to re-generate, or in some cases to vanish. Drawing on the history of philosophy, phenomenology, new materialism, post-colonialism but also a wide range of contemporary approaches to philosophical practice, Philosophical Health sheds light on the understudied philosophical dimension of care and the healing dimension of philosophizing.

Advocating philosophy as a lived practice, it uncovers the increasing relevance of philosophical health to contemporary debates on well-being, well-belonging, counselling, and development. .
