Today’s world is described as VUCA – a world characterised by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity. Can philosophy help contemporary people live and creatively navigate in such a world? Can philosophy, drawing on its heritage, help contemporary people in their search for existential meaning and wisdom, while also helping them find their way in the labour market? Which philosophy would be helpful in building a responsible ethical stance and at the same time in dealing with existential crises? What kind of philosophy do we need? How should we practise it? How should philosophy be taught? Should philosophy cooperate with other sciences, and if so, to what extent?
