Philosophy didn’t start in a classroom. It started with a gasp.

This episode is about Wonder — that sudden feeling that something familiar isn’t so familiar after all. We’ll talk about how this moment of awe, confusion, or deep curiosity isn’t just the spark of philosophy but the doorway to a more conscious, meaningful life. It’s what wakes us up — if we let it.

We’ll draw on Plato, Buddhist insight, and everyday examples to show how wonder isn’t childish or naïve. It’s the exact opposite: a courageous refusal to take the world for granted. This isn’t about trivia or theory. It’s about waking up to your life.
