In an era of unprecedented technological advancement and readily available infinite knowledge that is just a click away, individuals can easily get lost in the deluge of information, the origin, purpose and meaning of which is often unknown. Which human virtue can help us navigate a world whose complexity is becoming unmanageable? The time has come to consider the role of wisdom in shaping our lives, decisions and social progress. During the roundtable discussion, we will debate the importance of wisdom in today’s world and contemplate whether it is merely an illusion or whether it remains the fundamental essence of contemporary human experience. Participants will exchange views on wisdom as a guiding principle for personal growth, ethical decision-making and creating a more harmonious society, even in the face of increasingly present artificial intelligence.

We kindly ask you to confirm your attendance HERE.

You are cordially invited!
