Moedige denkers

"We hope to see thinkers confident enough so that they can grasp the limitations of their own concepts and dare to explore beyond them, to tread, so to speak, unexplored paths and engage in 'stranger and more compromising adventures'. We aim to foster a culture of thinking that re-engages the raw element at the core of thinking - the element Deleuze described as 'that which forces one to think' or a 'thought capable of harming the thinker' in the sense of compromising her rigid sense of identity, forcing her to give up habits and explore transformative options. Psychologically, it can be challenging as such instances may often be experienced as a disturbance or even a threat to the status quo of one's common sensibilities. Yet, triggered by a daydream, a wrong turn, an unintended utterance, an unplanned meeting or a joke, the raw element of thought can all the same invigorate, inspire and make one feel intensely alive (David R. Weinbaum & Marta Lenartowicz).”

Zo beschreven is 'positieve desintegratie' ook een 'practice of thinking'. Het is eervol om een bijdrage te hebben geleverd aan het recente gepubliceerde ‘Practice of Thinking’ van de School of Thinking.
