Abstract
The objective of the philosophy plays is to introduce, promote and develop philosophy in the public domain through dramatic performances ('philosophy plays'). To this end the Philosophy Plays project aims at making philosophy, and especially Western Philosophy, accessible to the general public and render philosophy accessible to people who would otherwise not have access to it. This paper will explain and demonstrate the theoretical rationale and methodology of the Philosophy Plays project as a way of doing public philosophy. As performance and performative strategies are often used in art practice, the Philosophy Plays project should also be seen to be of interest to visual and performing arts audiences generally.
