KEYNOTE:
WISDOM FOR THE ANTHROPOCENE ERA
Watch The Keynote Speech Video
Having entered the Anthropocene era, the planet now faces an existential challenge. Despite this we seem to be sleepwalking into this threat to our very existence. What can a philosophy of wisdom offer in response to this? It has to be more than words and good intentions. It has to be more than simply living an environmentally friendly lifestyle. We need to provide leadership and to be politically active with a message of hope rather than despair.
