Toward Inner and Outer Peace Through Understanding.

This work explores the philosophical principles that support understanding at a deep level. These are philosophical insights that constitute the very conditions that make it possible for our accompaniment to take place from a genuine attitude of presence and openness, free from judgment.

Deep understanding fosters self-understanding in those we accompany, promotes personal transformation, and ultimately transforms into compassion. Based on the conviction that internalizing the philosophical foundations presented here allows for a deep understanding of the ultimate causes behind many human attitudes and behaviors that generate much of our mental and emotional suffering, this presentation will outline the fundamental principles that encourage deep understanding, inner peace, and, as a result, outer peace.

BREVE RESEÑA PERSONAL/BRIEF PERSONAL REVIEW

I am a counselor and also hold a Bachelor’s degree and a PhD in Philosophy from the Autonomous University of Madrid.

I work in philosophical counseling, as well as in teaching and public outreach.

My work focuses on facilitating philosophical processes of self-knowledge, helping people become aware of the philosophical background underlying the difficulties they face in their daily lives and their emotional suffering. I also work as a lecturer at the University of Vigo and at UNED, and as a tutor at the Sapiential Philosophy School.

I promote philosophy as a path of self-inquiry and personal transformation, and I organize courses and activities aimed at integrating philosophical reflection into everyday life.

I am the author of the book Philosophy Centered on Self-Knowledge, based on the conviction that philosophy is deeply connected to the challenges we face and that cultivating the philosophical dimension is essential for the development of human potential. I have also translated Ran Lahav’s book Philosophical Contemplation.

I am currently working on the publication of a manual on the theory and practice of philosophical counseling.
