Philosophy is more than just an academic subject; it is useful and enriching in everyday life as well. This is the main conviction of philosophical practitioners. Philosophical practice has been developing as a new movement within philosophy for several decades now, although it has ancient roots. Today, there are philosophical practitioners throughout the world who exchange ideas and experience in journals and during regular international conferences, such as the 14th International Conference on Philosophical Practice, which took place in Bern, Switzerland, in 2016 under the main topic “Understanding the Other and Oneself.” A selection of thirteen papers from this conference, as well as five panel contributions on various subjects regarding its main topic, are gathered in this book.

Thinking, Childhood, and Time: Contemporary Perspectives on the Politics of Education is an interdisciplinary exploration of the notion of childhood and its place in a philosophical education. Contributors consider children’s experiences of time, space, embodiment, and thinking. By acknowledging Hannah Arendt’s notion that every child brings a new beginning into the world, they address the question of how educators can be more responsive to the Otherness that childhood offers, while assuming that most educational models follow either a chronological model of child development or view children as human beings that are lacking.

Fluid stages, morphing theatre spaces, ambulant spectators, and occasionally disappearing performers: these are some of the key ingredients of nomadic theatre. They are also theatre's response to life in the 21st century, which is increasingly marked by the mobility of people, information, technologies and services. While examining how contemporary theatre exposes and queries this mobile turn in society, Liesbeth Groot Nibbelink introduces the concept of nomadic theatre as a vital tool for analyzing how movement and mobility affect and implicate the theatre, how this makes way for local operations and lived spaces, and how physical movements are stepping stones for theorizing mobility at lar...

Meningen, politieke statements en selfies domineren onze feeds. De druk om mee te doen met deze zelfprofilering kan groot zijn, niet alleen online maar ook thuis en op het werk. Hebben we enkel de keuze tussen luidkeels zenden en je terugtrekken in stilte, of bestaat er ook een alternatief? In Luisteroefeningen gaat Miriam Rasch op zoek naar de ethiek van het luisteren. Wat gebeurt er als je je oren opent en begint te luisteren? In een constante stroom van beelden en prikkels legt Rasch de focus steeds terug bij het horen, bij geluid en bij de ontvangende kant. Als we luisteren ontstaat meteen een relatie tot het gehoorde: van aandacht en ontvankelijkheid, van geven en binnenlaten. Oefenend met een ‘open oor’ ontdekt Rasch hoe een luisterende houding tegelijk standvastigheid en openheid met zich meebrengt. Een krachtig instrument in tijden van overprikkeling en polarisatie, dat voor iedereen binnen handbereik ligt.
