A conversation with Daniel Zaruba about philosophy "as a way of life" - an approach that is very distinct from the way philosophy is typically taught and studied in modern academic institutions. Daniel is the Headmaster of Japanese Thought at the online Halkyon Academy founded by philosopher Johannes Niederhauser. Daniel and Johannes are offering a course on the Kyoto school, a group Japanese philosophers who bridged Western philosophy with Zen meditation (see below for enrollment details).

Daniel and I discussed the interplay between thought, language, bodily movement and sensation that are all part of the process of transformative insight and personal growth. In particular, we discussed Dialogos, a relational practice pioneered by cognitive scientist and philosopher John Vervaeke which revives the classic tradition of Socratic dialogue as a means for creating connection and collaborative thinking as an antidote to the rampant nihilism of the modern landscape.

Daniel is teaching a course on Japanese philosophy together with Johannes Niederhauser at the Halkyon Academy (https://www.halkyonguild.org/). In the course we will also integrate different philosophical exercises.
