Thought in the Act: Passages in the Ecology of Experience

Creativity intersecting with philosophy through dynamic thought.

It's an immersive dive for readers who appreciate philosophy not as abstract, but as something enacted and embodied, inviting them to explore the synergy between thinking and creating. The authors’ analysis of various artists and practices will resonate deeply with anyone interested in the profound connectivity between art and life, offering an intellectual journey that champions an interplay of disciplines.
