Your insights are poignant opportunities to delve into the heart of your life, its meaning, its significance, and your own desire to understand. Often we don’t recognize our insights as philosophically significant and even misidentify them because they occur at the same time as psychological or medical symptoms, or they are associated with great emotion. Doctors rarely identify philosophical problems. Indeed, doctors are usually so keen to identify the problems within their areas of expertise that most doctors will skip philosophy altogether and jump to prescribing treatments for medical or psychological conditions. Philosophically, this is a mistake. You may well have a medical or psychological problem (doctors are the ones to determine this and to prescribe treatment) but this does not mean that you are not dealing with—and even dealing primarily with—a philosophical problem. Cases of crises of meaning, ethical dilemmas, social difficulties associated with lifestyle or self-understanding, romantic problems, and issues of life direction often have philosophical issues at their root and they should be explored philosophically. A philosopher can be of tremendous help in these situations. Of course, if you have a medical or psychological problem, it should be treated by a psychiatrist or professional trained in that area. You should not, however, mistake psychiatry for comprehensive knowledge (which it is not) and you should not assume that your philosophical problems are medical symptoms (which they are not). Indeed, if you have a philosophical problem it is because you are having a philosophical insight. This insight should be explored for the sake of wisdom in your life and for your wellbeing. The examined life is a life worth living!
