What Is Philosophy? Exploring Ideas with Gilles Deleuze

What's the point of reading philosophers who turned out to be "wrong"? Is philosophy even about finding the truth — or is it doing something else entirely?

In What Is Philosophy?, Gilles Deleuze argues that philosophy does not discover eternal truths. It creates concepts. Philosophy isn’t about explaining the world — it’s about inventing new ways to think it.

In this session, we'll explore some big questions that Deleuze wrestled with: What separates philosophy from science and art? Does a scientist discover an equation or invent one? And what invisible assumptions shape what we can even think in the first place?

No prior reading required — just bring a question you've never been able to answer.
