Associate professor of philosophy Peter Raabe was one of several invited facilitators at a four-day international philosophical counselling workshop in China’s capital city. On August 11 he presented a lecture followed by a day-long workshop at the Center for International Academic Exchange of Beijing Normal University. The event, titled “Let Philosophy Inspire Life,” was sponsored by the Beijing Cultural Development Research Institute, which is affiliated with the School of Philosophy at that university. About 50 participants, consisting of both students and professionals from all over mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, came to learn about Dr. Raabe’s area of specialization: philosophy’s role in mental healthcare. This was the first workshop ever held in China on the topic of philosophical counselling. Plans are already underway for more such events in the future.
