Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

From the very beginning of European philosophy in ancient Greece the relation between philosophy and arts has been highly problematic. On the one hand we find artist-philosophers like Plato or Nietzsche, whose philosophical investigations used artistic practices to demonstrate their thoughts; on the other hand philosophy has been extremely hostile to such practices, especially since Plato himself banned a wide range of arts from his ideal state ruled by philosophers.
Through his conception of the Künstlerphilosoph (artist-philosopher), Nietzsche probably questioned this tradition of doing philosophy most profoundly, since this conceptual personae longs for a new kind of artist-philosophers to come who are ready to do philosophy in a post-Socratic manner by precisely crossing-over the disciplines of arts and science. Not to mind their gap, but in order to find a new (post-Socratic) relation between philosophy and arts that will produce a different kind of philosophy and new forms of philosophy-based art in the end. Theoreticians and artists are therefore asked to present their thoughts in this lecture-serious in a way that will demonstrate the performative aspect always already at work in thinking, when somebody gives a talk or writes a text.

Assessment and permitted materials

Written examination. The first exam will take place on Fr. 30.01.2014; 17:00-20:00.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

1. Analysis of the highly problematic relation of art and philosophy in the history of continental philosophy

2. Presentation of latest research approaches, engaged in the integration of artistic practices in philosophy.

3. Discussion of the question: "What does the implementation of arts-based-practices mean to philosophy and the arts?"

4. Demonstration of a transdisciplinary relationship between art and philosophy, in which both disciplines have started to work together, rather than to avoid them.

5. Discussion of the role, Nietzsche's concept of artist-philosophers plays in this new field of arts-based-philosophy
