Hi all,
I was just wandering around something:
Are there by any chance artists here, that due to their work, sparked also their interest in philosophy?
Or perhaps the other way around, are there people here, mostly interested in philosophy, that also turned into artists, perhaps in an attempt to explain or visualize their work?
If so, and willing to tell stories around this, feel free to share them.
I'm a philosopher that is now an artist - if that is any help?
Aside from making sculptures of philosophers, and sculptures leaning towards history of philosophy , I think generally it is difficult to express philosophy artistically.
What would a sculpture look like that was based on the discussion between free will and determinism; or the challenge to the rationalists that the empiricists made?
hi there sculpture, and many thanks for this, and other contributions.
You propose some very interesting questions there, as mentioned above.
Perhaps I can offer you some possibilities towards at least one of your questions: that on how to express philosophy artistically.
I have been pounding my head on the wall on this question often, so much really that I now have a chronic migraine,
but nevertheless some options popped out
I have been dealing with aspects like diversity (of thinking in man and other creatures) and life in general.
These are questions, very much related to philosophy let's say.
So you are proposed with a general frame, with diversity in it somehow, and preferred, every time an uniqueness within them.
Ever since I found myself able to express this synthesis, I'm always on the lookout towards variants towards this, with results.
(abit like generating a fractal within a fractal thingy)
More info later if you want, and if you are open for it of course.
ps: around those other questions: very intriguing indeed
