street philosophy
I randomly approach everyday people on the street from all walks of life with the following questions:
-
Who are you? (name, ethnicity, occupation)
-
What’s one belief, principle, or motto that reflects a core part of your philosophy?
-
Why do you believe that?
-
What question would you like to ask a philosophical counselor (me)?
Discussion will focus on question 3, and may not reach question 4. I may eventually publish these here on the Blog/Podcasts page, with their permission, of course. I may reveal the location in advance, upon request, to subscribers who wish to be interviewed. If you would like to be interviewed, please email me, using “Street Philosophy” in the subject field.
Cyber Street Philosophy
The same as Street Philosophy, but via Skype or some other web-based video technology. If you would like to be interviewed, please email me, using “Street Philosophy” in the subject field.
Here's a sample livestream version of cyber street philosophy, from the Ask A Philosopher program run by Brooklyn Public Philosophers on Facebook:
