Center for Philosophical Inquiry and Practice

Philosophical Inquiry into Philosopher Maria Zambrano The philosopher must go to school with the artist, and the artist must go to school with the philosopher. In this ongoing monthly workshop, we will proceed with a shared inquiry into philosophical texts from Plato to Derrida to help us understand the role of the author and literature in combination with freewriting and support for the creative, critical and reflexive writing of the participants. Our writers will be encouraged to proceed from their existential problem and to explore and project their fears, strong desire or code and current personal or public dilemma into the work at hand. The workshop will use short lecture, readings, freewriting exercises and opportunities for constructive criticism of work, finished or in progress. At all times we will utilize both the imagination and philosophy as our guide and support. This workshop is free and will meet monthly on the fourth Tuesday of every month.
