Andrei Simionescu-Panait, Ph.D., is a philosophy Lecturer at the Polytechnic University in Bucharest, Romania. He also teaches at the Master in Philosophical Counselling program, West University of Timisoara. Besides his teaching activities, he works as a philosophical counselor and critical thinking coach, being certified by the Institute de pratiques philosophiques in Paris. His clients include psychologists, teachers, and company employees. He recently published The Reconciled Body (Zeta Books 2021), a phenomenology of elegance. He researches new ways to combine phenomenology and Socratic dialogue techniques.

Dr Luis de Miranda is the initiator and founder of Philosophical Health International. Author of philosophical essays and novels translated into various languages, Luis is currently a researcher at the Center for Medical Humanities (Uppsala University, Sweden) and a philosophical practitioner, the founder of The Philosophical Parlour, through which he offers occasional individual philosophical counseling centred around his methodology of crealectics. In the book Being & Neonness (MIT Press), he synthetises his vision of a creative cosmology of singular health. In the book Ensemblance, he studies the conditions of possibility for “well-belonging” and healthy collective intelligence or esprit de corps. In October 2019, Luis de Miranda gave a presentation at UNESCO Headquarters, in Paris, on “crealectical understanding” where he called for a movement of applied research in philosophical health. Luis also advises international corporations on philosophical health programs and crealectic innovation, such as Vattenfall or Teaminside.

As a philosophical counsellor, Dr Luis de Miranda conducts individual online conversations with individuals from all over the world to help them make sense of their life, to help them feel a greater sense of the possible and of reality as an intercreative whole. He offers many discovery sessions free of charge to people from all continents who otherwise could not afford financially a form of therapy or dialogue that respects their dignity and thirst for meaning.

Philosophical health is not about finding what is wrong with a person in terms of diagnosis, norms or brain chemistry. It's about helping the person recover the mindful enthusiasm, holistic understanding and proactive serenity of being a whole human being, with a sense of purpose and the capacity to stand for what they believe is right and fair.
