Theoretical practice is what interests us most: to continuously question the relation between theory and practice. We consider the tension that arises from combining those two variant „practices” a sole source of both forms of activity: „theoretical” (philosophy, sciences) and „practical” (politics, technology, arts). Staying in a domain of broadly understood philosophy, we are attempting to develop it in correlation with the whole variety of practices, but at the same time with a reference to the sciences that build those practices. For us, philosophy is the prime mover of the development of practice and theory; at the same time, however, it disrupts them, as they exist only in a fundamental relation with their exterior (matter, life, time and space). We are interested in a possibility of enriching that philosophical element with notions excluded from it, as well as reflecting upon a necessity of reinterpreting exhausted ideologies and discourses. We wish for our own theoretical practice to stay in continuous reference with material and symbolic aspects of our existence, with time and space in which we think. We also want it not to be blind to the conditions of life in which others live.

We are aiming for developing the ability to practice the theory: rebuilding and deconstructing existing theoretical vocabularies, finding new spaces for application of theorems in developing sciences, penetrating newborn inter- and transdisciplinary scientific discourses, interpreting social and technological changes. Our objective is also to create circumstances in which young researchers, Master and Ph.D. students, could practice their theories. This offer is especially aimed at those, who are not afraid of crossing the boundaries of disciplines they study.
