Philosophically Augmented Reality

In this article I argue that not only digital technology augments reality, but also philosophy. I interpret and outline philosophical practice by drawing on the concept of augmented reality. The focus is on the distinctive and unprecedented experience of augmented reality generated by philosophical practice. Rooted in thinking and dialogical resources rather than in the accumulation of data and information about things, philosophical practice opens up new perspectives on the world and on others, but also on oneself. The present text elaborates on the subject of the lecture I delivered at the 17th International Conference on Philosophical Practice, held in Timișoara in 2023.
