The Writer as Philosopher: Exploring the Limits of Language

Wishlist Share

About Course

This course invites writers to approach literature as a form of philosophical inquiry. What happens when we use writing not only to tell stories, but to think and probe the limits of language, meaning, and identity? Through six sessions, participants will engage with key philosophical ideas such as the absurd, silence, time, and the multiplicity of the self, while transforming these concepts into creative practice.

Each module combines a concise introduction to theory with hands-on exercises that push language beyond its familiar boundaries: crafting fragments and paradoxes, writing with absence and silence, bending time in narrative, and experimenting with voices and alter egos. By the end, participants will have produced a portfolio of experimental texts that reflect both intellectual inquiry and artistic innovation: writing that not only expresses, but also pushes the limits of language itself.
