Aims and Scope

In an era characterized by rapid technological advancement, complex socio-political challenges, and escalating ethical dilemmas, the integration of wisdom, as a reflective, ethically grounded, and context-sensitive mode of reasoning, into the frameworks of modern governance has become both imperative and urgent. The journal of Wisdom and Modern Governance (WMG) emerges as a scholarly platform dedicated to exploring the theoretical foundations, practical applications, and normative dimensions of wisdom in contemporary systems of governance. Published by the Center of Scientific Research and Philosophical Study in Iran, this peer-reviewed journal seeks to foster interdisciplinary dialogue at the intersection of philosophy, political science, public administration, ethics, cognitive science, and policy studies. It welcomes original research that critically examines how wisdom, as distinct from mere knowledge or intelligence, can inform decision-making, institutional design, leadership, and public policy in ways that promote justice, sustainability, resilience, and the common good.
    The journal of Wisdom and Modern Governance (WMG) aims to bridge ancient philosophical insights on practical wisdom (phronesis) with cutting-edge empirical and normative inquiries into governance in the 21st century. By doing so, the journal contributes to a growing global discourse on reimagining governance not only as a mechanism of control or efficiency, but as a virtuous practice anchored in discernment, humility, and long-term societal well-being. This journal invites scholars, policymakers, and practitioners from diverse intellectual traditions and cultural contexts to advance rigorous, evidence-based, and ethically reflective scholarship that places wisdom at the heart of modern governance.
