ToftH Research Corporation

Transformations of the Human (ToftH) was founded in 2021, by Tobias Rees and Kim Newman, as a California non-profit educational organization (501c3). It is designed to introduce a new practice to the world, one that does not yet exist and has only recently become possible: the practice of doing philosophy. ToftH is composed of the ToftH School (“the School”) and ToftH Research Corporation (“TRC”), a for-profit subsidiary. The ToftH Research Corporation (TRC) is an AI product insight company. We combine our unique proprietary method for identifying the new –– doing philosophy –– and a novel approach to UXR to provide insights for tech companies on how to build powerful AI products. TRC was established in support of two goals: (i) to build a company on the basis of ToftH-style work that can generate revenue and fund ToftH School; (ii) to prove that by building products in terms of their philosophical newness, one can produce new value and markets. The main work streams of TRC include consulting with external clients, and internal research and product development. Our work combines philosophy, art and technology in order to build PArT projects, products, practitioners and companies for the new.
