de Miranda, Luis

Luis de Miranda, PhD, is an action philosopher of creativity (Crealectics) and self-innovation (Philosophical Health). His work, research and interventions, is distributed along two methods, which together are intertwined in the CIPHER model (Crealectic Intelligence and Philosophical Health for Enriched Realities).

Luis is the author of +15 books, some of them translated into various languages. His authorship is often philosophical but interacting with real practices, in essays like Being and Neonness (MIT Press), Ensemblance (Edinburgh University Press), and Philosophical Health (Bloomsbury). He also wrote novels, such as Who Killed the Poet? and Paridaiza. 

Prior to becoming an academic at the age of 43, he was an independent author of fiction and non-fiction in Paris (France), a chief-editor as well as a cultural entrepreneur, the founder of two publishing houses. In Paris he studied philosophy at the Sorbonne, and also graduated from HEC-Paris, the French equivalent to the Stockholm School of Economics.

He is the founder of the Philosophical Health International movement.

Beyond epistemic research, he is a philosophical practitioner helping individuals find purpose and meaning. He is also active in institutions and corporations, such as Vattenfall R&D, in which he has been applying his Cipher model to help engineers "inner-novate".
