Therapeutic approach

The therapeutic approach to philosophy sees philosophical problems as misconceptions that are to be therapeutically dissolved. The approach stems from Ludwig Wittgenstein.[1][2]

There is not a single philosophical method, though there are indeed methods, different therapies, as it were.

— Ludwig Wittgenstein, Philosophical Investigations, §133d

Quietism, The New Wittgenstein and anti-philosophy take a therapeutic approach.
