ABSTRACT Philosophical counselling has traditionally utilized a limited number of philosophical traditions: Existentialism, Stoicism, and the employment of Socratic dialogues being the most common ones. Focusing on a limited number of philosophical views does not exploit the potential therapeutic value of many other philosophical traditions, and may enhance dogmatism. In this paper we illustrate the need for a wider philosophical toolkit by showing the potential value of two rarely-employed philosophical traditions: African and Islamic philosophy. From the plethora of issues in these philosophical traditions, we highlight the relevance of African philosophy to conflicts between social duties and individual desires, and the relevance of Islamic philosophy to conflicts between faith and reason. We then emphasize the relevance of these philosophies in the current social and political situation in the Western world in general, and in Europe in particular.

非洲和伊斯兰哲学：扩大哲学咨询的视野

摘要 哲学咨询传统上利用了有限数量的哲学传统：存在主义、斯多葛主义和使用苏格拉底对话是最常见的。专注于有限数量的哲学观点并没有利用许多其他哲学传统的潜在治疗价值，并且可能会增强教条主义。在本文中，我们通过展示两种很少使用的哲学传统的潜在价值来说明对更广泛的哲学工具包的需求：非洲哲学和伊斯兰哲学。从这些哲学传统中的大量问题中，我们强调了非洲哲学与社会责任与个人欲望之间冲突的相关性，以及伊斯兰哲学与信仰与理性之间冲突的相关性。
