A Wiser World
A Wiser World is a project
The goal of A Wiser World is to make our lives and societies better by developing a shared understanding of the world where we search for the first principles of every topic.
What are First Principles?
First principles is one of the oldest ideas in philosophy. The philosopher Aristotle (c. 384 – c. 322 BCE) defined first principles as “The first basis from which something either exists or comes to be known”. Put differently, first principles are the most fundamental parts or “building blocks” of a phenomenon that we are trying to understand. When we know the first principles of something, then we understand it at the deepest possible level, and can in theory explain everything about it.
