Abstract

The approach I’d like to show and discuss here is that these theories and ways to see the world that we usually call Philosophy are formed and expressed as drama. In or behind the abstract dryness of concepts and in tempered passion of arguments lies the warp of relational structures and actions where theatre finds its content. And even more boldly, it might suggest the thought that Philosophy is made out of scenes like those we can find in theatre; and even that what we use to conceive as the philosophical background of theatre plays can be perhaps better seen the other way round, that is, as a series or a variety of theatre forms —sceneries, plots— that shape Philosophy itself.
