For example, many people only know Descartes\u2019s saying \u201cI think; therefore I am\u201d but do not know the argument behind it.

In this way, for those people who have no expert backgrounds, this project offers a chance to understand those philosophers. For those who have already known those ideas, it is an opportunity to personally experience what they have learned in an inspiring way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"project-course-ids\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"project-classes\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"project-keywords\">Installation<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An exhibition-like interactive installation space.
