At Univocity we're interested in practical philosophy and not just theories and concepts. The analytic mind or left brain can't access the whole picture alone! Our hope and passion is that philosophy combined with creative thinking and expression can help us engage fully with an understanding of who we are, and what a full life looks like. We do like exploring abstract aspects of philosophy, but in ways that anyone can grasp. Most people are navigating through life with such impressions, even if not consciously but in the unconscious:

 

What is reality and what is it like? (Metaphysics)

​

What can we know

and how do we know it? (Epistemology)

​

What really exists and how? (Ontology)

​

Who or what are we? (Philosophy of Mind)

 

'Concrete' aspects of philosophy such as moral philosophy: What is 'good' and how do we move towards it?  Or political philosophy: What are the best ideas for society to function? These are built on the assumptions of the 'abstract' aspects even if we're not aware of it.  We get a clearer perspective if we consider them both together.The question of identity and its relation to Reality is a key to exploring and perhaps discovering the questions of philosophy above.

What does it really mean to be human? 

…and who doesn’t want that?
