Abstract
What is Performance Philosophy? This paper will reflect on the idea that we are currently witnessing the emergence of a new field: Performance Philosophy. Performance Philosophy, I will suggest, is not just a 'turn' within Theatre and Performance Studies, but potentially a rich interdisciplinary field involving philosophers and researchers from a wide range of disciplines. As well as outlining this recent development, the paper will also question to what extent we might wish to consider performance as a philosophical activity in its own right: not as the mere illustration of extant philosophy ideas nor according to a predetermined definition of philosophy (such that performance is called upon to produce logical arguments, rational deductions and so forth), but more as a practice that thinks in its own way, and indeed in ways that might equally call upon philosophers to reconsider what counts as philosophy. Drawing from the notion of non-philosophy (or non-standard philosophy) outlined by François Laruelle, as well as from relevant work in the field of Film-Philosophy, I will endeavor to articulate some of the myriad ways in which we might say that performance thinks.
