In an irredeemably uncertain, chaotic world, a world of war and pandemics and AI, philosophical skill and insight have never been more practically important.
Why? Because philosophy is the oldest, most rigorous practice we have for thinking well about the things that actually matter. It is literally the love of wisdom — and we could really do with some wisdom right now.
But philosophy has often locked up its value in ivory towers, in impenetrable jargon and self-important nonsense. And that's why I built The New Philosophy — to bring philosophy to the people and places where it can have a real impact.
