Archive episode [Season 1 Episode 6]: The performing arts - philosophical insights from an expert’s view

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we talk to Rebecca Schorsch, lecturer at the Chicago College of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University. Her experience has taken her to teach master classes at different universities around the world, including the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in London. Here we explore some of the philosophical insights that can be found in the performing arts, establishing a link between aesthetics experiences and ethics. We talk about aesthetic experiences as make-sensing tools, the possibilities of knowledge through performing arts and their way to 'express truths that can be otherwise unknowable', and their similarities and influences to moral experiences.Released 17 June 2020.
