HC : Philosophies pour la vie
| Abstract | This Follow-On Funding project will develop a course in practical philosophy, along with supporting materials like handouts and videos, which will then be trialled in three different organisations: in Scottish prisons through Motherwell College; in Manor Gardens, a London mental health charity; and in Saracens rugby club. We will then collect feedback from the participants in these organisations to see what benefit they got from it, and whether it affected their sense of resilience and well-being. We'll write up our findings in an AHRC report, and also present them in a seminar to other academics interested in taking philosophy beyond academia and into other areas of adult education. If this pilot project is a success, we will then seek further funding for Stage 2 (not covered by this grant), which would establish a social enterprise to sell courses in practical philosophy to private-sector organisations, while also providing them at a subsidized rate for more disadvantaged groups such as mental health charities. The project follows on from an AHRC-funded research project in 2012, called 'Philosophical Communities', which researched the history and contemporary rise of grassroots philosophy clubs around the world. That report noted the remarkable growth of grassroots philosophy clubs, with over 1000 such clubs listed on meetup.com, and the number of people signed up to such clubs growing at an annual rate of 30%. The report generated a lot of media interest, with articles on grassroots philosophy appearing in the Financial Times, the New York Times, La Reppublica, El Confidencial and Dong-a llbo in South Korea. This project will take that research into new territory, taking it from the theoretical to the practical. What impact does practical philosophy have on people outside of academia? What benefits do they feel they get from it? Is it commercially viable to sell such courses to companies, as a means not just for improving employee resilience, but also for enhancing character? Can practical philosophy courses enhance the ethical culture of organisations? And does philosophy only appeal to middle-class university graduates, or is it also accessible and useful to more disadvantaged groups? |
