Atlanta Philosophical Services provides the following forms of Consulting.
Conversations with a Philosopher
You may have once had a teacher, professor or mentor who stimulated your thinking by asking questions that you never thought to ask. Perhaps their suggestions improved the expression of your ideas. Coffeehouses, interest groups, and classes provide similar intellectual stimulation. But if you still desire a more private dialogue with a philosopher who can help you explore your ideas, contact Atlanta Philosophical Services by phone or email.
Conversations with a Philosopher are one-on-one dialogues with Dr. Dennis Martin. These conversations can be conducted in person at our location in Atlanta, at a public location of your choice, or they can be conducted online if you are at a remote location. Discussions are not psychological in nature nor should they be about personal problems. Discussions stay at the theoretical, intellectual, and speculative level. Discussions can also be conducted with small groups of two or more.
Fee: One person $50/hour
Two persons $75/hr
Three or more $30/person/hr
Philosophical Consultations for Organizations & Businesses
Sometimes you can’t see the forest for the trees. You need a wider perspective. You’re surrounded by yes-men and yes-women who can’t give you an honest criticism. Sometimes you have an idea that you must keep secret from cohorts but want to discuss with someone. Sometimes you want to improve your case for a project or point of view but have run out of ideas. Sometimes you want to hear objections from opposing views, and you need a devil’s advocate. You may have an idea, strategy, or document that you would like to run past an independent thinker – someone who can give an outside unbiased opinion.
Intended for organizations or corporations, Atlanta Philosophical Services can help you defend or criticize your point of view, criticize your opponent’s point of view, formulate or express your ideas more clearly, and see your ideas in a larger context.
Fee: $100/hour with a 5 hour minimum, plus travel expenses if outside the Atlanta Metro area.
Short Courses
Your group, book club, or organization can choose a topic or non-fiction manuscript that you would like to study. Atlanta Philosophical Services can design and deliver talks, discussions, seminars, or short courses on that topic or manuscript. Topics could include such things as critical thinking, moral issues, business ethics, philosophy of religion, philosophy of sexuality, or the history of ideas.
Fee: $200/class with a 3 class minimum
Other Ideas ??
Are there other philosophical services that we might provide? Bring in your topic, thoughts & theories for philosophical advice. Is there a major philosophical thinker that you would like to know more about? Dr. Martin is familiar with a wide variety of philosophical thinkers and points of view throughout history. We also have other academically trained consultants who might be able to provide the service you need. We will be honest and forthright about our ability or inability to serve your needs.
Fee: Negotiable
