Jonathan Rowson

Catch Jonathan on Do Radio: Where To Next with Dan Kieran 22-28 September 2025

Jonathan Rowson is a writer, philosopher, and one of the most compelling public thinkers of our time. A former British Chess Champion turned co-founder of Perspectiva, Jonathan works at the intersection of systems, souls, and society—exploring how inner and outer transformation can shape a wiser future.

Jonathan’s path has taken him from elite chess tournaments to deep inquiry into meaning, complexity, and civilisation. Thoughtful, eloquent, and quietly radical, Jonathan challenges us to go beyond surface solutions and cultivate what he calls “existential activism.”
