How the New Can Come – MP3 Audio Course

with Eugene Gendlin & Ann Weiser Cornell

How the New Can Come is for anyone interested in how something new emerges in us – and what kind of concepts we need to grasp the emergence of originality.

Art only works if something new actually comes. The same is true of philosophy, and therapy. In this downloadable audio set, we explore this question: How does one make a space where something new can come? We visit thinking (philosophy and concept creation), art, and therapy as examples, but there are many other areas where the new is needed.

Heidegger said that philosophy and poetry come from the same place. He called that place “nothing,” but it isn’t nothing. It just isn’t already clear and formed. In order to solve a problem, something new has to come. We can’t just rearrange the building blocks that were already there. The new comes from the zigzag between the body sense and what we make of it. We also need interaction, and to use language freshly.
