Donald Robertson, a cognitive-behavioral psychotherapist and founder of Modern Stoicism, stresses the importance of Socratic philosophy in achieving mental clarity. In his new book, 'How to Think Like Socrates,' he reveals techniques that resonate with modern cognitive-behavioral therapy. He illustrates the Socratic Method, where understanding values begins through defining their opposites—Justice and Injustice—and encourages reflective practices to cultivate philosophical thinking for personal improvement. This approach can offer relief to a distracted and anxious modern mind.
Socrates, despite being one of the most influential philosophers in history, wrote nothing. However, his teachings and written exercises have significant overlap with modern cognitive-behavioral therapy.
For this exercise, Socrates drew two columns, the first headed 'Justice' and the second 'Injustice,' inviting reflection on their definitions and practical applications.
