Abstract
It is evident that scholars of the science and practices of career counselling have effectively assimilated the postmodern challenge to the epistemology that hitherto produced the accepted ways of knowing and doing in the field. Scholars have reached the horizon seen decades beforehand and the field has returned to a state of normal science. At this historical juncture, I introduce the epistemology of pragmatic idiographic truth as vehicle to understand how and why counsellor and client must co-construct fictions in order to live in the world of work. I advocate for a turn toward the philosophical study of living the good life—ethics—as a way to enhance the science and practices of career counselling, whereby career counselling is the idiographic crucible of personal truth for being in the world of work.
