Love & Philosophy
Exploring philosophical, scientific, technological & poetic spaces beyond either/or bounds. Living into the questions. Loving as knowing. Paradox as portal.
By love and philosophy we mean the people, passions, and ideas that move us, shape the trajectories of our lives, and co-create our wider landscapes.
Thank you for supporting this experiment. It really helps.
