From the very beginning of
peek-project artist philosophers European philosophy in ancient
newsletter Greece the relation between
research festival philosophy and arts has been
comments highly problematic. On the one
publications hand we find “artist-philosophers”
research archive like Plato or Nietzsche, whose
philosophical investigations used
artistic practices to demonstrate
their thoughts; on the other hand
philosophy has been extremly
hostile to such practices,
especially since Plato himself
banned a wide range of arts from
his ideal state ruled by
philosophers. Philosophers, since
then, have often even opposed
arts, claiming that they were doing
science (reasoning) rather than
“art”––which they equal with
“poetry”, based on fiction and pure
imaginations.

Through his conception of the

“Künstlerphilosoph” (artist-
philosopher), Nietzsche probably
questioned this Socratic image of
philosophy most profoundly, since
this conceptual persona longs for a

demand, our PEEK-project aims to

research festival
comments This aim ought to be realized by
publications organizing a research-festival
research archive “SCORES No 10 // PHILOSOPHY
ON STAGE #4” at Tanzquartier
Vienna, in the context of which
artists, philosophers and scientists
will collaborate to demonstrate on
stage their theoria on Zarathustra.
The Artist Philosopher both in a
scientific and an artistic manner.
Thereby they will have to
demonstrate anwers to research
questions such as: What happens
to the traditional image of
philosophy and arts, once
philosophers and artists are called
to stage their thoughts and
implement arts-based research
practices for the demonstration of
their ideas? Can Nietzsche’s
notion of the artist-philosopher
help us to understand what
performing philosophy as a kind of
arts-based research could mean?
