Q & A with Aristotle
Live seminar: ethics, politics, rhetoric and metaphysics
What would count as attending a seminar with Aristotle?
This experimental session uses a deliberately theatrical conversational reconstruction projected from a small device at the seminar table. Participants can interrupt, disagree, ask follow-up questions and pursue lines of argument.
The exercise is less interested in historical impersonation than in the strange authority produced by it. A system may be explicit about its artificiality while the setting, voice and responsiveness encourage us to behave as though a historical thinker were present.
Questions are encouraged. Togas are not required.
