Working groups

The activities of the Culture and Value Laboratory (CultureLab) are organised within three working groups: 

1) Art of Living Research Group: dedicated to the history, development and contemporary relevance of philosophy conceived as an “art of living”, and its impact on social practices and value construction at ethical, political, artistic and cultural levels.

2) Art, Critique and Aesthetic Experience: dedicated to the study of aesthetic values and its relation to artistic practices, and the aesthetic experience of the city in the intersection between art and philosophy.

3) Lisbon Nietzsche Group: dedicated to the study of the works and thought of Friedrich Nietzsche, and the relevance of his legacy for our own time, especially in the problem of nihilism and facing and analysing the contemporary crisis of values.
