IPeP in a nutshell
IPeP is a living lab, that teaches & researches philosophy as a practical response to the crises of our time. We believe that many people are living with a fundamental confusion about how to live ethically, morally, and sustainably. Our approach is to treat life as a lab, conducting experiments that shift philosophy from an intellectual exercise to a practice of personal and social change.
Through rigorous science, self-experiments, guided courses, and thought leadership, we help people treat their own lives as sites of transformation — not just of self, but also of the collective.
How we work
LIFE AS OUR
LAB.
We treat life itself as a site of research and transformation. We experiment with what it means to be human — not theoretically, but through how we actually live. Our own life-worlds serve as living laboratories, grounding scholarship in our daily practice of living. This means radically testing theories on ourselves.
SCIENCE OF TRANSFORMATION.
We see science as a participatory becoming that activates attention, responsibility, and agency. We practice and develope a science of experience and participation that takes lived, first-person inquiry seriously as a mode of knowing. This expands who can do science and shape what counts as knowledge.
REALITY AS RELATIONAL.
We engage more-than-human intelligences as participants. The living world is not a backdrop to human activity but a co-participant in the process of knowing. Our research and practice ground this commitment in a relational approach.
