“…In Plato’s First Alcibiades , a kind of philosophical therapy is a necessary condition to become a good governing actor or citizen via some form of care ethics or even self-sacrifice (Cawston and Archer, 2018). There was a connection between the collective idea of justice and the individual idea of care, and the philosophical self was ultimately not individual: it was an inspirational reconnection with the divine and the sublime in us or entheos (Lampe, 2010: 195), an idea often illustrated by Socrates’ daimon , the personal spirit or voice that was triggering good advice (Silverman, 2010).…”

The present article is a primary introduction to the semi-structured interviewing method SMILE_PH, an acronym for Sense-Making Interviews Looking at Elements of Philosophical Health. Beyond grounding this new methodology theoretically (a work that is started here but will in the future necessitate several developments), the main motivation here is pragmatic: to provide the recent philosophical health movement with a testable method and show that philosophically-oriented interviews are possible in a manner that can be reproduced, compared, tested and used systematically with a population that has received no training in philosophy. The SMILE_PH approach was conceived by the author during an ethically approved pilot study focused on the philosophy of life of persons living with spinal cord injury (SCI), with the intention of rectifying the epistemic obstacles generated by rationalist, Socratic or unstructured ways of in-depth interviewing. The six-step structure of the method is also inspired by hundreds of individual dialogue sessions with philosophical counselees, led by the author between 2018 and 2022: the SMILE_PH method progressively gathers phenomenological data about 1 – our bodily sense, 2 – our sense of self, 3 – our sense of belonging, 4 – our sense of the possible, 5 – our sense of purpose and 6 – our philosophical sense.

BackgroundWe investigated the personal philosophies of eight persons with a tetraplegic condition (four male, four female), all living in Sweden with a chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) and all reporting a good life. Our purpose was to discover if there is a philosophical mindset that may play a role in living a good life with a traumatic SCI.MethodsTwo rounds of in‐depth qualitative interviews were performed by the same interviewer, a philosophical practitioner by training (de Miranda). The second round systematically covered the following elements: bodily sense, sense of self, sense of belonging, sense of the possible, sense of purpose and philosophical sense. This six‐step method developed by de Miranda is called SMILE_PH, an acronym for Sense‐Making Interviews Looking at Elements of Philosophical Health.ResultsAll the interviewees, as a consequence of their trauma, reported having gone through a reinvention of themselves which implied questioning the meaning and purpose of their life in particular and life in general. A philosophical rather than realistic sense of the possible was abstracted toward teleological growth. All interviewees developed a sense of purpose based on self‐interested altruism and solidarity with disabled peers.ConclusionsTo reinvent a good life with SCI, in addition to physical training and willpower, one needs to consider philosophical questions about the self and life, what Kant called the cosmic interests of reason: What may I hope? What must I do? What can I know? Our results indicate that we should, in the future, explore what the philosophical health approach may bring to rehabilitation processes in the months or years that follow the trauma.

Öz: Sokrates'in ölmeden önce dostlarıyla geçirdiği son anlarının anlatıldığı Phaidon'un dramatik finali, onun son sözlerinin zindanda yankılanmasıyla birlikte etkisini daha da arttırır: "Asklepios'a bir horoz borcumuz var; ödeyin bunu, sakın ihmal etmeyin." Antik Yunan'da şifa tanrısı olarak bilinen Asklepios'a bir adak olarak anlaşılan bu söz çoğunlukla Sokrates'in, yaşamı hastalık, ölümü de şifa olarak gördüğü şeklinde yorumlanmıştır. Bu makalede diyaloğun iç bütünlüğü dikkate alınarak bu görüşün sıhhati tartışılacak, Sokrates'in diyalogta bulunanların hastalıklarına nasıl ve ne şekilde çare aradığı hususu, kendisini de diyaloğa hasta olarak yerleştiren Platon'un Asklepios ile olan ilişkisi üzerinden irdelenecektir.
