Can philosophical counseling be a special profession to be recognized in Romanian society?

by Vasile Hațegan PhD.

Abstract

The paper is based on a research that refers to a professionalization solution applicable in Romania, as a result of a mediation process, carried out only hypothetically and starting from the analysis of a phenomenon, the philosophical practice, this being continued with the study of some advantages but also criticism expressed by philosophers, practitioners and specialists from other fields, in which each has arguments and interests alike, for which the proposed solution can be considered as a possible hypothetical agreement, resulting from the said mediation process. The study took into account models created in other countries of the world, as well as the experiences of other practitioners in the field, aspects that confirmed the regulatory trend but also an implicit recognition of the profession of philosophical counselor, now distinct from the philosophical practitioner, which we believe can be successfully applied in Romania as well.
