Sažetak
Starting from Antique philosophers and Socratic discourses, to Augustine, Boethius, and Dante Alighieri, to Wittgenstein, Jaspers, and Pierre Hadot, this study draws attention to philosophy as ars medicinalis and as philosophia medicans, i.e., to the therapeutic function of philosophy, while revealing that philosophy, directed to reality, to life and to the way one ought to live, as a physician in critical life situations, prompts one to discuss and to reflect, recognises causes of illness and proscribes therapies, leads to healing of illnesses of the soul, heart, mind, and language, and, thus, a human person of each era can find in philosophy the joy of transitioning from illness to health.
