Finn Thorbjørn Hansen, Ph.D. & MA, Associated Professor at the Guidance Research Unit, Department of Curriculum Research, The Danish University of Education. Chairman of The Danish Society of Philosophical Practice.

My area of specialisation is Philosophical Counselling, Existential Pedagogy in Higher Education and Citizenship Education, and Philosophy of Education. My current research interests range over the existential/spiritual dimension of career guidance and higher education, existential philosophy and hermeneutics (Kierkegaard, Løgstrup, Van Manen, Gadamer, Arendt), the idea of existential and Socratic citizenship and the relationship between Theory & Practice in the perspective of Practical Knowledge (Phronesis) and the use of Philosophical Counselling and Socratic Dialogue Groups in teacher and counsellor training.
