Consulting
Luis de Miranda offers a limited number of private consulting engagements each year, alongside his academic research and writing. The work is personal and direct. Those who engage Luis work with Luis, not with an associate or a trained representative.
The practice draws on decades of conceptual development and three integrated streams of work: philosophical health, crealectics, and the philosophy of artificial intelligence. Each engagement is grounded in the same underlying system, eudynamia, the practice of a dynamic and good relationship with the possible and the compossible, across the four dimensions of person, earth, work, and society.
Three principal forms of engagement
The CIPHER Cycle. A structured sequence of in-depth dialogues for senior leaders, founders, and individuals at decisive moments in their lives or work. The cycle moves through the six dimensions of philosophical health and the five movements of the crealectic method, integrating the internationally renowned SMILE_PH dialogue protocol. The result is not a recommendation but a transformation in how one perceives, decides, and acts.
Bios Ethikos Interventions. Focused engagements for leadership teams, boards, and organizations facing strategic decisions where the ethical stakes are not reducible to compliance. These include sessions on the ethics of innovation, demoralization and reanimation in clinical and corporate settings, the long-term judgment of decisions inside short-term cultures, and the values-architecture of major transitions. Each intervention is custom-designed and bounded in scope.
Bioethics Advisory. Senior philosophical advisory in bioethics for hospitals, research institutions, pharmaceutical and biotech organizations, public agencies, and ethics committees. The work is grounded in Luis's position as Docent in Bioethics at Uppsala University. Engagements address questions where standard principlist analysis is insufficient: the ontology of valuation in contested medical decisions, the ethics of emerging biotechnologies, research ethics for innovative methodologies, and the philosophical foundations of clinical and organizational ethics work. Typical engagements include ethics consultation on specific cases or policies, advisory roles on ethics boards, and structured philosophical reviews of research programs or institutional ethics frameworks.
Philosophy and Artificial Intelligence. Strategic advisory for founders, AI labs, governance bodies, and organizations deploying or governing AI at scale. The work draws on a decade of published philosophical research on machine intelligence, anthrobotics, and the conditions of compossible coexistence between human and artificial agents. Engagements focus on questions that standard AI ethics consulting does not reach: what kind of intelligence are we building, what does it mean to live well alongside it, and how do we keep the question of the good life inside organizations whose core product is increasingly cognitive automation.
How engagements work
All inquiries are answered personally. An initial conversation, without obligation, establishes whether the engagement makes sense for both parties. Pricing reflects the scarcity of the practice and the depth of preparation each engagement requires; it is discussed individually once the shape of the work is clear.
Private practice is limited to a small number of engagements per year, to protect the depth of attention each deserves and the academic research that underlies the work. Booking horizons typically range from one to three months ahead.
