José Barrientos has worked on “poietic”
philosophy and has published some works about it. He defends
the idea of ancient philosophy that asserts that Philosophy
is an art of living. So José´s search go
through direction to say that the best novel is not written
in papers but in our own lifes. How? By means of profounding
in life and going beyond superficial existence.
His other search projects work on Critical Thinking and
its relationships with Philosophical Counseling and Practice.
