“…This attitude is also described through the Socratic Virtues of the counsellor, which has to do with caring awareness, silence, ontological humility, courage, humour, self-discipline and friendship (Hansen, 2008a;Hansen, in press). Philosophical counselling and Socratic dialogue groups have been used with a wide variety of people and professions, and can even be found in child and youth education (Splitter & Sharp, 1995;Vansieleghem, 2005). So, to summarize, viewing Socratic thinking as merely an advanced form of cognitive, intellectual, critical, systematic and discursive thinking is to miss the existential (to exist) reflection and the spiritual selftranscendent (to be) awareness, which are two vital components of the Socratic dialogue as the existence philosophers in different ways have illustrated (Kierkegaard, 1846;Arendt, 1978).…”

We are approaching career counselling from the perspective of ''Being'', which we recognize to be a daunting task. Nevertheless we find it extremely important that the counsellor become aware of and try to think, talk and act from his or her embeddedness in being, and by that help the client to do the same. This process involves an ontological and spiritual approach, and builds upon the Socratic ability to wonder, the meditative way of ''undoing'' and the artful act of creation.

“…Proponents of P4C have generally agree on the premise of the movement--bringing philosophy lessons to pre-college students--however, they differ on what these lessons should look like in practice (Vansieleghem, 2005). Nancy Vansieleghem and David Kennedy (2011) divide the history of P4C in the US into two generations that differ both in their methodologies but also their understandings of what it is to be a child and the role that education plays in development.…”

2 About the ProgramThe Portland State University (PSU) Ronald E. McNair Scholars Program at Portland State University works with motivated and talented undergraduates who want to pursue PhDs. It introduces juniors and seniors who are first-generation and low income, and/or members of under-represented groups to academic research and to effective strategies for getting into and graduating from PhD programs.The McNair Scholars Program has academic-year activities and a full-time summer research internship. Scholars take academic and skills-building seminars and workshops during the year, and each scholar works closely with a faculty mentor on original research in the summer. Scholars present their research findings at the McNair Summer Symposium and at other conferences, and are encouraged to publish their papers in the McNair Journal and other scholarly publications. Shteyngart, I will show how Citizens United, the political theory of Hannah Arendt, and the novel parallel and reflect the reality of our culture; where the weight of corporate oppression squashes the individual leaving that person simultaneously exposed and in complete loneliness.

“…Although the participants in a community of inquiry are free to express their thoughts, their freedom is bound by the confines of logic. Vansieleghem (2005) uses Hanah Arednt's notion of freedom to argue for more creative ways of encountering the world anew:…”

From Critical Thinking to Artful Communication: Inspirations from Dewey’s Theory of Communication

The idea of Philosophy for Children (P4C) initiated by Matthew Lipman aims to foster critical and creative thinking in children through the pedagogy of a community of inquiry. In his formulation of P4C, Lipman emphasizes the role of logical reasoning in thinking and assumes a mutually reinforcing relationship between critical and creative thinking. In this paper, I present an example of a real classroom dialogue which illustrates the inherent tension between logical and creative thinking, as well as the need to go beyond critical thinking. I then proceed to argue for the importance of communication in creating and sustaining a genuine community of inquiry.In conclusion, I suggest that John Dewey's view of communication as essentially transformative, aesthetic, educative, and moral can be made the basis for envisioning an alternative focus of P4C-namely, the ideal of artful communication, which has far-reaching implications for realizing the democratic idea of "community" in a community of inquiry.
