 In contrast to the four fairly separate disciplines that are involved here—philosophy, philosophy of theater, performance theory and theater studies, together with performance and theater practices—a recent view suggests there is but one overarching discipline, namely “performance philosophy”, wherein performance is its own kind of thinking which is, itself, a kind of philosophizing. This recent view is not, at least currently, widely credited either by philosophers of theater or very many theater or performance theorists (Puchner 2013). But it is now the basis of a new discipline with its own professional association and its own journal. Like many theater or performance theories, it takes its inspirations from philosophers, notably Gilles Deleuze (1968 [1994]) and Francois Laruelle (1996 [2013]).
