Opinion: Teach Philosophy of Science in High School The pandemic has revealed the importance of preparing students to critically evaluate the conceptual foundations and real-world impact of science.

Use of philosophy to overcome personal problems and predicaments is not welcomed by everyone. Philosophical counseling primarily faces two kinds of criticisms; first about the philosophical nature of this activity and second about philosophy‘s ability to help in personal problems and predicaments. Dorothy Cantor, a clinical psychologist and former president of the American Psychological Association, has dismissed the idea that "philosophical counseling, or whatever the heck they're calling it," has a legitimate claim on dealing with emotional disturbances (Sharkey, 1998). Conservative Philosophers like Roger Scruton (1998) see it as a return of the sophists. Even among serious academic philosophers, those who address the so-called human condition questions, there is an almost visceral revulsion at the very idea of philosophical counseling (Duane, 2004).

This research is a pre-supposition-less inquiry into the nature of philosophical counseling. It is pre-supposition-less in the sense that neither it presumes philosophical counseling to be philosophical nor it tries to find out philosophical elements in philosophical counseling to prove it philosophical. It does not begin with the question "What is philosophical in philosophical counseling?"; but it begins with the question "What is the nature of philosophical counseling?" or in other words, "Is philosophical counseling philosophical in nature?". Whether it is philosophical or not, cannot be decided till the end of this research, the answer to this question will form a part of the conclusion. This question has vital importance for philosophical counseling because if it is philosophical then it should be recognized as a branch of philosophy and can be established as a philosophical practice or profession, but if it is found to be unphilosophical then it should be excluded from philosophy.

Philosophical counseling can be called philosophical if and only if there is a one-to-one correspondence between philosophy and philosophical counseling i.e. the aim of philosophy and philosophical counseling should be the same; mere use of philosophical concepts and resources is not sufficient to make any activity philosophical.

The prime concern of this research is regarding the philosophical nature or status of philosophical counseling. There are some other minor themes also such as the therapeutic status of philosophy, in other words, "Is philosophical counseling effective in cases of emotional disturbances, anxiety, depression, etc.?". But the therapeutic status is not so crucial for philosophical counseling because it can flourish with the development of critical thinking ability of the counselee's thought process which can further enable him to bring clarity and coherence in thoughts. If philosophical counseling is philosophical it should be retained as a form of philosophical practice for its own intrinstic rewarding experience irrespective of therapeutic effects. Although the therapeutic effect is incidental to philosophical counseling, this aspect is explored in this research.

In this journey towards the understanding of the nature of philosophical counseling, it becomes necessary to understand the nature and concept of philosophy. It is not possible to decide whether something is philosophical or not unless the nature of philosophy itself is known. This research deals with a meta-philosophical inquiry into the nature of philosophy through an analysis of the various conceptualizations of philosophy. It doesn‘t emphasize any particular conceptualization of philosophy, but it remains open to the possibility that more than one viable conceptualization of philosophy can co-exist together.
