Welcome,

Atonal Multimedia Web Philosophy (also known as Atonal) is a project about philosophical practice .

Philosophical practice is an intellectual activity aimed to provoke a feeling of dissatisfaction, that is the engine of the inner progress of human beings.

I've been involved with philosophical practice for several years, and I follow the activities of many philosophical practitioners from all over the world. I've also spent many, many nights on the Internet studying tons of kilobytes about the subject! As everyone knows, the information one can find about philosophical practice on the net can be chaotic and disorganized and more importantly undermines the word 'practice' - there isn't a website where you can interact directly with a philosopher!

So, the main aim of this site is to identify a community of people who are interested in helping shape the future of philosophical practice. Philosophical practice that no longer depends on a physical place or studio, but keeps pace with modern technology and the Internet.

Internet is the widest public space that humankind has ever known. It’s growing day by day. In 2002, there were 500 million Internet users, now there are 1,5 billion and this will be 3 billion by 2014. In this huge space, a new democracy is giving new rules to who people are, and as a consequence Internet enhances what people need.

For this reason I've decided to create a different sort of site, a sort of living portal, where philosophical practice is professionally managed. On this site you can meet philosophers from all over the world, talk to them, join their webinars (seminars on the web) or hold one of your own. You can also read articles, watch video seminars, participate in video conferences, listen to audio files, learn about virtual and live events, download ebooks and record video messages.

There is even a mobile version of this site, for iPads, iPhones, Smartphones, iMode and WAP phones.
So you can do all above things just using your mobile phone.

To conclude, this is an open project, meaning that your help (comments and ideas) and your contributions on philosophical practice (materials and information) will be for ever welcome here.
