Visual art as philosophy
from Philosopher's Zone Hosted by Australian Broadcasting Corporation
When it comes to the ideal philosophical medium, most of us would identify the written word - or maybe the spoken word, if we're fans of Socratic dialogue - and this is because for centuries, philosophy has been a linguistic practice. But this week we're arguing that visual art can be philosophy, and looking at how visual art can represent concepts in ways that haven't traditionally been recognised by Western epistemic traditions. Guest: Taylor-Jai McAlister, clinical psychologist and postdoctoral Research Fellow in Philosophy, Macquarie University, Sydney Producer: David Rutledge Defining Aboriginality - Taylor-Jai McAlister on The Philosopher's Zone, November 2023
