[ExI] How to Develop a Subversive Mindset: The Five Rules of Experimental Philosophy

[John Grigg]

"If you think that choreographing a ballet for honeybees and attempting
to genetically engineer God are absurd projects, the conceptual artist and
experimental philosopher Jonathon
Keats<http://bigthink.com/users/jonathonkeats> would
agree with you. And yet, that does not mean that these thought experiments
are without value."

"When one is pursuing experimental philosophy," Keats says in his new
workshop on Big Think Mentor <http://www.youtube.com/user/BigThinkMentor>, a
way of thinking occurs that is vital to creative problem-solving. While the
problem at hand may be abstract, or even absurd, the way of thinking
through the problem can be greatly applicable in life."
