Contemporary wisdom research has focused on cognitive and psychological dimensions, often neglecting the deep spiritual, metaphysical, and ontological foundations that have historically underpinned wisdom traditions. This seminar argues that wisdom cannot be fully understood and cultivated without addressing and continually updating the knowledge needed for the fundamental "metaphysical commitments" an individual makes regarding, for example, the nature of reality, consciousness, humanity, life, and the self. Drawing upon a synthesis of Aristotelian phronesis (practical wisdom), metaphysics, Buddhist philosophy, and contemporary consciousness studies, this presentation outlines a framework where wisdom emerges not merely as an intellectual trait, but as an embodied social practice founded in deep commitments and knowledge. Relatedly, we will also consider how learning, reasoning, and higher states of consciousness needed for metaphysical inquiry, and also how shifting from an ego-centric "I-self" to a collective "we/us-self" creates the necessary conditions for ethical virtuosity. Finally, the presentation introduces how metaphysical insights might be integrated into a "wisdom habitus". For example, we will consider the role of mindfulness in reshaping our temporal and conative dispositions. We will chart a path for developing people who can navigate a vexing world with clarity, including avoiding the pitfalls of "spiritual bypassing" (e.g. McMindfulness) to achieve wise outcomes by locating wise action within the shared community of minds and bodies rather than solely within the individual.
