How does one introduce wisdom into modern philosophy?

Wisdom achieved from experiential inquiry, self-discovery and experimental testing in the world?

One needs to invent a scientific methodology to justify it against the established tradition of arguments and what is supposed as known.

Necessary to prove that the modern philosopher doesn’t really know themselves.

A tradition of closed system thinking, epistemic arrogance, incrementing on what is known, ignoring what it fails to understand, and failure to see the bigger picture.

Unsolved problems in modern philosophy, are now manifest manifest within culture; binary either/or oppositions, categories of identity and division, simplistic and superficial self-understanding.

Philosophy is a microcosm of the same problems in culture. Those same problems can be explained, and solutions presented within philosophy as well, which can then be applied to culture.

Standing in the way of progress are those who already presume they know, and can’t see possibilities that don’t fit their understanding.

Progress should not be dictated by the last and least able to understand. It is time they step aside, and allow a new generation to take the reigns; those more complex, more self-aware, and better adapted to complexity.
