The workshop will present
methods of self-cultivation based on the methods of philosophical practice,
combining the rational efforts of working on oneself with meditative methods of
concentration and relaxation. The specificity of the method of philosophical
practice proposed at the workshop - philosophical meditation - lies in the
necessary appeal to the inner world, combining rational philosophical methods
(understanding, analysis, interpretation of a philosophical text) with the
methods of traditional meditative practices based on concentration of
consciousness.
