Philosophical Practice situated in Nature and Freedom (Workshop)
Presentation Language: English
Goal
of Philosophical Practice is self-reflection of the guest of the Practice. Such
reflection gives orientation in life. Philosophical Practice is understood as a
way to go in conversation, not an instrument to apply. Nevertheless, this way
to go can be described in three steps: to open a space in which it is possible
for the guest to be heard and to hear himself/herself, to investigate a place
appearing in this room opened up, and not to avoid inevitable life topics
showing themselves on this place in conversation. To practice in this way
affords techné in the Greek sense. And the topos or landscape of such Practice
is nature and freedom. In the workshop I wish to show how I practice.
