ABSTRACT
Field philosophy marks out a new path for 21st century philosophy, offering both a practical and theoretical alternative to disciplinary philosophy. The balance between disciplinary philosophy and field philosophy shifted in the late 19th century: philosophers were now almost entirely to be found in one location – on campus. Contemporary philosophy has not theorized the effects that location have on philosophizing. Field philosophy rebalances the philosophical ledger – reestablishing a multiplicity of sites, identifying a new practice, and offering an accompanying theory rooted in the differences that location makes to philosophizing.
