April development week

 Inspiring; thought-provoking, stretching outside my comfort zone

This afternoon looked at the interweaving of philosophy and creative practice. Very helpful - how can creativity help us to approach our research in new ways?  How might it pare down our results, get the essence out?

Looking at the word "axiology" I decided to write a poem. I ended up writing two complementary ones - cut-up from the Oxford Dictionary of Philosophy "Axiology" definition and a text from Kae Tempest (On Connection 2020 p.103):

Axi -connect
 
it blooms
with dark shapes about the world
Those shapes can feel
objective validity to
make claims about the darkness
with light
 
 
Ion -ology

my work can be dark rooted
in emotions
in large rooms 

about what is 

acting from the stage 

everyone deserves pleasure
and moment  

When I meet    the judgement that 

pleasure is 

that creates the galvanising philosophers 

not so ready to 

end

the performance,

or in approval
