Crisis of Meaning and the Role of Wisdom

A significant theme discussed is the sense of cultural disconnection, referred to as domicide, experienced during the post-Axial Revolution period. This loss transcends physical homelessness, extending to a profound disconnection from one's culture, history, and community. In response, the cultivation of wisdom evolves as a therapeutic practice, positioning philosophers as healers of the soul tasked with alleviating existential anxiety. The conversation highlights the redefining of wisdom to encompass not only knowledge but also the capacity to navigate and mitigate the anxiety stemming from this crisis of meaning.
