Stepping out of Plato's Cave

Conversations between human beings in uniform on a football field: each one defends his role, his perspective, his interests. The question is: when is this not the case? In other words: when is a conversation more than that? Philosophical consultation proposes to raise the level of communicative interaction between subjects to a more meaningful one. Philosophical consultation takes into consideration one's own perspective as a determined perspective in order to test it, to evaluate it, to consider its daily, concrete and existential implications. Get out of one's own perspective and observe its boundaries, its contradictions and its limits in order to broaden it. Going out of our cave to unmask the shadows, illusions and lies that characterize our relationship with reality. In philosophical consultation, through the philosopher's questions, the subject becomes the object of his own thinking: it could be considered a way to know oneself through a dialogue. From this point of view thinking and dialogue represent a larger, higher and in some way also a more objective dimension than the subjective one in which we are all more or less constantly trapped.
