Summary/Abstract: Paul Watzlawick is considered a theoretician of communication and radical constructivism, with comments in the fields of family therapy and general psychotherapy. And philosophical counseling appears as a communicative practice, which uses philosophy as the most formalized semantics of human culture. The work of Paul Watzlawick, Pragmatics of human communication… should be considered theoretical prolegomena to any philosophical counseling. Unlike other therapies, philosophical counseling does not produce its content, which belongs to the history of philosophy and human spirituality in general, but, according to the post-modern formula, redistributes it through communication.
