Beyond Dichotomy.

Welcome to Love & Philosophy, a project connecting head and heart.

We’re highlighting the patterns that connect across disciplines, holding what might seem irreconcilable. Sometimes it gets technical. Sometimes it gets intimate. Some of it will flood you with warmth; some of it will make you wonder. We appreciate your participation, patience and support as we search out the sweet spot of resonance and discomfort. Holding paradox is a practice we embrace.

Way-making is a term inspired by Taoism, and can be understood as the movement of the body as well as the movement of the mind: “Way-making blunts the sharp edges and untangles the knots; it softens the glare and brings things together on the same track.” (Ames and Hall, 2003 in Boulton, 2024). This project is about exploring seemingly contradictory ways by exploring the making. Your ideas and collaboration are welcome.
