Perspectiva
8 ideas23 connections

Scottish chess grandmaster and three-time British champion who pivoted to philosophy and cultural research, authoring The Moves that Matter (2019) which uses chess as a lens for exploring how we live and think. He co-founded and directs Perspectiva, a London research institute working at the intersection of inner life, systems thinking, and social transformation. His thinking draws on wisdom traditions, cognitive science, and the philosophy of mind to address the cultural dimensions of civilizational crisis.
