Abstract

Planning a social, educational, or business entrepreneurship can be a critical juncture in an entrepreneur’s life. In such cases it is crucial to first formulate the compatibility between a major project and the worldview of the entrepreneur. It is in such cases that Philosophical Counselling can achieve important results. Professional philosophical skills can help dismantle and reconstruct the visionof an entrepreneurship, in harmony with the entrepreneur’s rephrased worldview. At the same time, a philosophically oriented and trained counsellee makes the process much more effective. The philosopher-counsellee aiming to implement a project is better prepared to engage in a philosophical process than a counsellee lacking a philosophical background. In this paper I present a special caseof Philosophical Counselling assisting in life planning, that is, in the context of implementing a major project by an entrepreneur, and stress the benefits and the cooperation to be gained when philosophical skills and training are not only on the side of the counsellor, but also on that of the entrepreneur- counsellee.In many situations, Philosophical Counselling is a crucial primary stage in a comprehensive process. This is often the case when an entrepreneur is about to plan and execute a major project in his or her life. Though there is much to be discussed regarding these cases, in the present paper I would like toconcentrate on a special sub-case: that in which the entrepreneur is also a philosopher by training or skills. I will therefore present a special case of Philosophical Counselling assisting in life planning, that is, in the context of implementing a major project by an entrepreneur, and stress the benefit andthe cooperation to be gained when philosophical skills and training are not only on the side of the counsellor, but also on that of the entrepreneur-counsellee
