33 Moments of Practical Philosophy and Applied Psychology

Serious Topics

Based on selected chapters from 33 Moments of Practical Philosophy and Applied Psychology. An Anthology of Thought on Human Existence, this seminar explores human self-understanding from the complementary perspectives of philosophy and psychology. It provides a practical framework for understanding and reflecting on key aspects of human life and behaviour. The seminar comprises 17 weekly sessions. Each session addresses two topics followed by a moderated discussion. The final session is devoted to a concluding reflection. Topics include arrogance, decisions, communication, competence, error, freedom, happiness, human existence, humility, humour, love, meaning in life, perception, responsibility, time, truth and well-being, as well as other concepts from practical philosophy and applied psychology. Participants connect philosophical reflection with everyday experiences, analyse individual and social behaviour, and apply their insights to communication, decision-making, responsibility, well-being and personal development. The seminar is led by Prof. Dr. Marc Ant, a psychologist, PhD-holding philosopher and professor of organisational behaviour. He has taught at universities in Luxembourg, Germany and South Korea, headed the competence centres of Luxembourg’s craft sector, and published 23 books as well as more than 120 academic articles.
