Philosophical Enneagram Reflections: Introductory Post

My intention with this blog is to integrate philosophy and the enneagram as a way of offering type-related advice. After reading numerous enneagram books, I noticed that while great depth and insight about one's type could frequently be gleaned, too often the advice began and ended at "this is your problem, now stop doing it."

I operate from the principle that one's type comes with strengths as well as weaknesses but also that, since fixations date back to early childhood, rather than trying to go "cold turkey" it is more productive to gradually integrate different perspectives and attitudes. As a number of philosophers have wisdom that is highly applicable to the types, I present a background of the type issue and suggest reading exercises as a form of philosophically-oriented enneagram contemplation.
