A short biography
Associate Professor in Bioethics and philosopher specializing in eudynamic bioethics, philosophical health, and crealectic intelligence, with applications in healthcare, environmental leadership, and holistic transformation.
​
Luis de Miranda is Associate Professor (Docent) in Bioethics at Uppsala University’s Centre for Research Ethics and Bioethics and Marie SkÅ‚odowska-Curie Research Fellow at the Center for Advanced Studies of the University of Turku. His work advances eudynamic bioethics as a philosophical framework for understanding how individuals and institutions can cultivate philosophical health across four existential dimensions: Person, Earth, Work, and Society.
He has developed two internationally recognized methods: the SMILE_PH. method (Sense-Making Interviews Looking at Elements of Philosophical Health), a structured philosophical dialogue approach used in healthcare and wellbeing contexts, and the Crealectic Method, a collective intelligence framework for existential creativity and transformative problem-solving in organizational settings.
​
His research integrates philosophical practice with 4E cognition (embodied, embedded, enactive, extended) and centers on the C.I.P.H.E.R. model (Crealectic Intelligence and Philosophical Health for Eudynamic Realities) which maps six dimensions of philosophical health (bodily sense, sense of self, sense of belonging, sense of the possible, sense of purpose, and philosophical sense) and five modes of crealectic intelligence (resetting, crealing, profusing, compossibilizing, and realizing).
​

He regularly conducts philosophical counseling with individuals and organizations and collaborates with institutions including the Stockholm School of Economics’ House of Innovation.
