Philosophy and meditation

Main Article Content

Cecilia Caputo

Abstract

This article looks into the link between philosophy as the kind of thought that questions about what allows the subject to have access to “truth”, and meditation as the search and the experience by which the subject carries out the necessary transformations in themselves to have access to truth. Or, in other words, the link between philosophy as the encounter with one's own thought and meditation as the encounter with being, with the self. It proposes to include a space for meditative education within the Philosophy class at school insofar as both practices are two complementary sides of the same search.
