ΙΙ. Workshops:
Experiences of practical philosophy, «exercices of thinking»
Coordinator:
Elena Theodoropoulou (Greece/University of Aegean)
Main goal of Workshops is the questioning, problematizing, deepening, challenging, activating, multiplying of the praxeological experience and the emergence/creation of experimentation spaces with/for philosophy through its representations, hermeneutics and various forms of growth in the contemporary fields of education, culture, society and politics. This need of challenge is related to Walter Benjamin’s conception about the Crisis of the Experience, which Giorgio Agamben extended furthemore. The “poverty” of experience characterizes our modern times. Isn’t this deficit of experience that all these numerous offers of personal growth in a blooming market seek to “repair”? Philosophy can’t be satisfied only by denouncing such efforts. In front of this crisis of the experience, the “poverty” of experience, what can philosophy do as an experience? What can philosophy do in order to restore the experience, not only theoretically, but also in a practical way? What is a philosophical experience? How does it participate in one self’s shaping?
The “Workshops” try to suggest/create philosophical experiences, “exercises of thought” (Arendt, H., ‘‘The Gap between Past and Future’’, in: Between Past and Future: Eight exercises in political thought, New York: Viking Press, 1968).
On this basis, at least four challenges for the development of “Workshops” are proposed: the experimental meanings, the authentic inquiring questions, the dialogical process and the philosophizing body. The above challenges make the structure of “Workshops” distinct from the oral announcements &, for this purpose, are expected to be taken into account for in the formulation of the proposals to be submitted.

- Theoretical Framework
- Motivation & target/s of the workshop
- Presentation of the process
