Leaving Plato's Cave: The Practice of Philosophical Counseling

Ran Lahav is one of the pioneers of practical philosophy and philosophical counseling. In his exposition, these concepts acquire a meaning that will be revealed to any interested reader. Following the traditions of outstanding philosopher-practitioners, the author offers not just to study ideas, but to live them, turning philosophy into a tool for transforming one's own life. Similar to a Platonic philosopher who, having emerged from the cave, returned to help others, Lahav shows the way to a more conscious life.

This publication serves not just as a guide, but as a methodological tool for forming one's own philosophical perspective. It is especially valuable for those who work with people - psychologists, educators, mentors. The book invites not only to reflect but also to act, helping both oneself and others find a path to a more meaningful life.
