Hello! Thanks so much for signing up to become a member of Looking for Wisdom. Your support means that Looking for Wisdom can continue to grow and develop.
I'm Dr. Will Buckingham and for the last two decades, I have taught philosophy in universities and community settings around the world. In late 2020, during Covid-19 lockdown, I started to think about new approaches to teaching philosophy and building philosophical communities. And in this way, Looking for Wisdom was born.
