Practical Wisdom – Jessica Böhme

Transforming oneself and the world with philosophy

What if change had more to do with relationships than miracle solutions? Which kinds of priorities help them work better? How does one take meaningful action without having power to determine its outcomes? Who ought to act if not us?

Jessica Böhme

In this podcast, I talk about these questions – along with many others – with Jessica Böhme, PhD. Jes is the founder and director of the Institute for Practical ekoPhilosophy, “a post-disciplinary research and education institute dedicated to cultivating wisdom as a way of life for personal and planetary transformation.”

She also writes wild:philosophy, a weekly Substack newsletter that offers “no easy answers, only better questions”, and runs a monthly PhilosophyGym, where people can “stretch their thinking” and “stay supple with uncertainty”. We consider how these qualities cultivate agency, and how that translates to effective activism.
