Women in Philosophical Counseling: The Anima of Thought in
Action
Edited by Luisa de Paula and Peter B. Raabe
Book Description With contributions from eighteen professional women counselors from
twelve different countries, this book is the first to provide an overview of new-born philosophical
practices from an entirely female perspective. It gives voice to women's thoughts and brings to the
reader a living portrait of philosophy as a service to people and a training for those in search of a fully
lived existence. As the authors draw on first-hand experience, their philosophical analyses intertwine with
changes in attitudes and real-life stories, unearthing that forgotten soul of philosophical thought which
our ancestors referred to as the Anima. The book provides a lively, sprightly and vivacious picture of how
philosophy is used in practice, a long way from the rigidness and stereotypical severity of its traditional
image. It will not fail to inspire readers to live their thoughts and think their lives.
