The Institute of Art and Ideas or IAI is a platform that, according to their website, was “founded in 2008 with the aim of rescuing philosophy from technical debates about the meaning of words and returning it to big ideas and putting them at the centre of culture. Not in aid of a more refined cultural life, but as an urgent call to rethink where we are.”
On an internet where traditional publishing standards and processes have broken down to a large degree, IAI is a rare platform that tries to push the boundaries of knowledge without passing off pseudoscience as scepticism or heterodox thinking. In their own words, “the IAI seeks to challenge the notion that our present accepted wisdom is the truth. It aims to uncover the flaws and limitations in our current thinking in search of alternative and better ways to hold the world.”
