Boyan Manchev #3: What is Philosophy? Horizons

Lecture 3/3

_EN

Philosophy is experiment with existence through which existence articulates a new dimension, or a new dimensional juncture. If art has the task to invent new senses and create new organs, philosophy should contribute to its task by imagining a new neuronal galaxy.

Boyan Manchev (1970, Sofia) is a philosopher, professor at the New Bulgarian University in Sofia and former Director of Program and Vice-President of the International College of Philosophy in Paris (2004-2010).

Philosophy of the Free Body (2017), Logic of the Political (2012), Miracolo (2011), L’altération du monde (2009), La Métamorphose et l’instant – Désorganisation de la vie (2009), The Body-Metamorphosis (2007). The perspective of a new ontology of existence, or a modal ontology, and the search for new philosophical forms have been central to his work in the past twenty-five years.
