The Socratic Design Academy is an on and offline community, based in Alt Emporda, Spain. It applies pragmatic philosophical tools to transform persons, organizations, governance, and businesses.

Our thinking produces a lot of problems in our internal and external world. The Socratic Design Academy uses philosophical tools to eliminate destructive or counterproductive assumptions. Free from these blockades, using collective intelligence, we create hands-on narratives and meaningful practices based on purpose and values.

Our systems of economy, governance, education, and culture are all in a state of crisis. The technological and ecological disruptions are paramount; it affects our assumptions in the way we think, act, and feel, in the way we design cities, factories, schools, and houses. A lot of these are obsolete. We need another way of thinking! With Socratic Design, we create from scratch new assumptions for new good human perspectives. 

Socratic design solves the paradox that the thinking we use to eliminate problems is often the cause of these problems.The liberating effect of the disciplined Socratic Design method transforms any group of rational individuals into a collective intelligent body. They overcome ego focus, addictive thoughts, stubborn assumptions, and chronic disagreement. It creates maximum space for imaginative thinking.

Philosophy contains all possible assumptions about men and reality, so we use this richness in our analysis. The group jumps to the next level of intelligence: it can look from a distance to its actual reality and assumptions.

There is a twofold outcome: we make any group or individual capable of philosophizing and reflecting. The transformation is the first result of the Socratic design process. The reflective intelligence – free from addictive assumptions- generates new purposes in your life, your work, your company, NGO, businesses, and government. The result is a reinvention of yourself, the new strategy of the company, or a completely new culture that fits the new purposes and values.
