Seeker of Wisdom
Courageous Attributes

In moments of confusion or complexity, the Philosopher seeks clarity and understanding, embodying deep thought, contemplation, and critical questioning. The Philosopher draws connections between ideas, cultures, and philosophies to uncover deeper truths.

What's in the Shadow?

When the shadow is engaged, the Philosopher may become detached or overly analytical, disconnected from emotion or the lived experience of others, lost in abstraction.

Example

Minna Salami is a writer, speaker, and philosopher who explores the intersections of race, gender, and culture. Through her work, she advocates for an inclusive and contemplative approach to knowledge that integrates African feminist philosophy with global insights. Her thought-provoking critiques challenge dominant narratives and inspire others to seek deeper understanding of the world and themselves.

Reflection

"When we come together in a contemplative spirit, we are all one But we should never mistake that for an invitation to forget about the real structural issues that do divide the world.." – Minna Salami​
