Confs: Panel at the IPC20: The Pragmatics of Wisdom

Conferences - Wed, 08/26/2026 - 07:05
This panel explores how ‘wisdom’ is conceptualized, articulated, and spoken about across diverse linguistic and cultural settings. A particularly rich point of departure is the contemporary resurgence of ‘wisdom talk’ in the context of planetary crises: ecological degradation, technological acceleration, democratic decline, and anxieties surrounding the future of humanity. In such conditions, appeals to wisdom often index both anxiety and aspiration. They may foreground indigenous knowledges
