Autorenporträt

Peter and Alexandra both work for The Philosophy Foundation (Peter the co-founder and co-CEO), an award-winning, registered charity that aims to bring philosophy into the public sphere, especially education. Peter is currently undergoing a PhD at Sheffield university and specializes in ancient Greek philosophy and pedagogy (around which Peter is well-published including peer reviewed papers); he has also been a Visiting Research Associate at King's College London since 2014. Both Peter and Alexandra are practising practical philosophers, helping people work through life philosophically through group work and one-on-one consultations, both working internationally in this field. Alexandra is also Chief Philosophy Officer at Lifeaddwiser, a digital market leader in wellbeing, and a lecturer at Wellbeing Academy, where she is applying philosophical theories of wellbeing, Epicureanism being one of these, to corporate context. A post-graduate in philosophy from LSE, Alexandra has recent publications in academic journals "Ethical Thought" and "Questions of Education".
