One Day Summer School
“Free Space: the Field Guide”
by The New Trivium, Erik Boers

August 15, 2010

A management team which talks about its own moral teachers, a group of professionals who try to identify illusion they have long held, directors of health care who reflect upon the essence of their work, software developers who engage in a debate with their managers about the idea that management interferes with the professionals’ work, help desk staff who try to find the middle position in emotionally laden situations.
With many different groups and in many different ways we have been practising philosophical conversations and have developed many new forms to facilitate them. During this one day Summer School we offer a follow up on the Master Class we gave during the international conference. We will introduce some of these new forms and coach people to work with them.
A first choice: The question behind the question; Short dialogue; On the horns of a dilemma; Persuing a definition; Investigating an illusion; Contemplative dialogue; Short speech; Opposition; Sic et non ; Exercise in brevity; True or false?; Lamentation ; Ode; Personal manifesto; Unnoticed moment; Poetic argument; Moral teachers; Middle position; Interviewing your inner pilot; Atlas of values; Clearness committee; Tetractys

The summer school of The New Trivium is not organized under the responsibility of the Conference Committee.
The 'summer school “Free Space: the Field Guide”' is an initiative of the dutch socratic group-practice The New Trivium. They are members of the VFP, our dutch association for philosophical practice, but their summerschool is not ours! So, all costs of participating in “Free Space: the Field Guide” are outside our conference.
