Dance and philosophy
phrasing an entrance
pp. 3-8
Abstract
Katan propounds to comprehend the art of dancing as philosophical. The chapter opens with a description from the dance Mamottot, with choreography by Ohad Naharin for the Batsheva Dance Company. Focusing on hermeneutical questions, the chapter discusses philosophical traditions that consider the physicality of knowledge. Katan turns the description of Mamootot into a case study, exploring the relationship between dance and its theory. Accordingly, Katan offers to reexamine the relationship between dance and its philosophy as the interconnection between implicit and explicit knowledge, respectively.
