Abstract
In my presentation, I will introduce a few workshop cases where I have combined art and philosophical practice. I see many similarities between art and philosophy, as we like to learn more about ourselves and life, and both are the path to do so. In general, we see philosophy as a rational action that doesn’t “create things,” rather as the study of truth. On the other hand, art represents creativity, unexpected aspects of life. Is it possible to learn something different if we connect these two views? What would the “language” of these two look like? In philosophical practice, everybody, regardless of their education or background, has the opportunity to participate in philosophizing. In my experience, art-based activities can be an ice breaker or a shortcut to open people’s minds to wonder, make questions, and start philosophizing together (or alone with philosophy). Art activities can also open some emotional aspects and build a bridge of dialogue between us and philosophical understanding. This all might lead us forward on our quest to a meaningful life.
