Omschrijving

Explores how decision making, grounded in modal logic, shapes a person's relationship to the world by transforming their possibilities, values and perspectives - forming the basis of a philosophy of life

Philosophy of life is an overarching value and conceptual framework that gives context and meaning to practical philosophy, including the practical interventions aimed at enhancing the quality of life. This includes philosophical counselling and all kinds of psychotherapy. However, the tendency of disciplinary specialisation has led to a general neglect of the firm rootedness of psychotherapy in logic and philosophy generally. This book shows how conventional psychotherapy today uncritically rests on propositional logic and elucidates the consequences of that logical blind spot for the nature and content of the interventions and psychotherapeutic view of one's lifeworld.

A particular quality of modal logic in practical philosophy, and in psychotherapy as a form of practical philosophy, is experientially very different from the common perception of theoretical logic, which is formal and mathematical. However, when modal logic is applied to philosophy of life, and especially to psychotherapy, it shows opulent colours and a capacity to transform seemingly hopeless situations, frozen in determining, non-permissive circumstances. Modal Integrative Psychotherapy as a modal logic-driven psychotherapy method illustrates how philosophy of life plays a role as an intervention strategy to improve quality of life.

The book shows how psychotherapy grows from philosophy and articulates a particular practical philosophy that, rather than cancelling psychology as a discipline and psychotherapy as a profession, leads them to a stage of philosophical deliberation that has liberating, emancipating and empowering effects through the application of logical modality of otherwise irresolvable life issues. Such a perspective depicts life plans, life goals and life strategy as elements that determine the philosophical foundations of a quest for good life that project philosophy of life as living practice, including helping oneself and helping others through psychotherapeutic and at once philosophical interventions.
