Why? Questions such as: what is fair? What is appropriate? What does equality mean? How will I be deeply satisfied with my life? What is my responsibility toward myself and others? Who is my soul and what does it seek? What is the meaning of my life?<\/p>\n<p>We seek answers to our deepest concerns, yet usually from the safety of familiar ground\u2014from that mental and psychological realm in which we have learned to \u2018exist,\u2019 and in ways that do not disturb its precarious balance. Amid the vastness of our thoughts, experiences, and information, we fish for answers that reinforce our existing mental model. We rationalize. We find temporary relief\u2026 only for the questions and the discomfort to return with even greater force.<\/p>\n<p>Mental and psychological dead ends\u2026 Dead ends are \u201csocially legitimized\u201d, \u201cintegrated into our existence\u201d. And the endless and futile, according to the Myth of Sisyphus, effort of man continues. However, as Albert Camus will tell us, in the work <em>The Myth of Sisyphus<\/em> (1942): \u201cWe must imagine Sisyphus happy\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>And Jean-Jacques Rousseau: \u201cTake the path opposite to the usual one, and you will almost always do well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The program <strong>\u201cKnow thyself \u2013 pursue the good life\u201d is grounded in the dialectical relationship between Philosophy and Psychology.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Socrates was the first to \u201cdeclare\u201d: \u201c\u2026the unexamined life is not worth living for a human being\u201d, emphasizing that a transformation of the mind alone is not sufficient to make life meaningful, the transformation of our emotions is also necessary, and this is achieved through the practice of virtue.<\/p>\n<p>From the time of Socrates and the classical conception of self-knowledge to the present day, self-knowledge has remained a timeless philosophical concept\u2014and, more than ever, an essential one.<\/p>\n<p>Philosophy today is, to a great extent, disconnected from our everyday lives. Yet Philosophy was born to enable human beings to understand the nature around them and the nature within themselves; to build bridges of communication with themselves and with their fellow human beings; and ultimately, to fulfill their potential.<\/p>\n<p>Philosophy is contemplation. Before that, however, Psychology, like a benevolent &#8220;fairy&#8221;, calls thoughts, feelings and behaviors to observation and potential questioning. Philosophy and Psychology become helpers to each other.<\/p>\n<p>The program <strong>\u201cKnow thyself \u2013 pursue the good life\u201d<\/strong> is a Socratic approach to self-knowledge through the cultivation of virtues. It is supported by modern and contemporary philosophy and complemented by classical and contemporary psychology.<\/p>\n<p><em>The virtues, both intellectual and moral, move the soul into its depths, into the subconscious and the unconscious, where our traumas reside as living experiences of the past.<\/em> (<em>Carl Jung<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>It is intended for adolescents and young people who choose to embark on the journey toward \u201cIthaca\u201d, as C.
