Wisdom Beyond Logic: Philosophy as Seeing the Whole vs. the Parts

Description

Wisdom is not systematic. Real wisdom requires paradoxical thinking, presence, a shift from linear logic to spherical understanding, and for the highest most abstract-systems, self-realization. 

In this episode, I share my thoughts on what makes wisdom different from knowledge, why it’s inherently paradoxical, and how wholeness offers coherence. We look at the paradox at the heart of reality itself: that the observer is always part of the whole they’re trying to understand.

We live in a complex, interconnected system, be it that of our psyche in our own minds or within our collective society. These complex, living systems require us to think bigger, know higher, unlearn often, and see differently. Wisdom is a paradox.
