In SDL InnerSpace, philosophy is a form of refined human knowledge that seeks universal patterns and principles underlying existence, distinct from but related to personal worldviews shaped by culture and experience. It originates from humanity’s need and quest to understand its place in the cosmos.
SDL InnerSpace is guided by its own philosophical framework. Drawing from Sam Diellor Luani’s old philosophy notes, the project incorporates foundational concepts and theories, adapting them to support InnerSpace’s speculative worldview and act as a substrate for new creative ideas and motifs. These original notes are being updated with new insights and integrated as a dynamic foundation for artistic innovation, conceptual exploration and creative speculation, in a series of articles which also are intended to result in at least two books on the topic. The material will be curated and presented in this section.
The philosophy of SDL InnerSpace constitutes a part of the common conceptual composition and generative substrate of SDL InnerSpace, but it is rooted in traditional and conventional thinking. It systematically addresses materialism, idealism, dualism, the nature of matter and life, dialectical reasoning, conceptual evolution, and metaphysical questions about existence and consciousness.
