Jordan Peterson’s philosophy blends psychology, personal responsibility, and meaning-making. At its core, he emphasizes that life is full of suffering and chaos, but individuals can confront this by taking responsibility, telling the truth, and ordering their lives.

Key ideas include:

Personal Responsibility: He argues that people should first “set their own house in order” before trying to change the world—focusing on self-discipline, integrity, and growth.

Order vs. Chaos: Drawing from Jungian psychology and myth, he frames life as a balance between order (stability, tradition) and chaos (uncertainty, potential). Growth comes from facing chaos responsibly.

Meaning Over Happiness: Peterson teaches that meaning—not fleeting happiness—is what sustains people. Meaning arises when responsibility is accepted, especially in service of others.

Truth and Speech: He strongly defends the importance of speaking truthfully and precisely, both to clarify one’s own thinking and to bring order to society.

Archetypes and Myth: Influenced by Carl Jung, he sees religious stories and myths as psychological roadmaps that encode wisdom about human struggle, morality, and transformation.

In short: Peterson’s philosophy encourages individuals to confront suffering directly, embrace responsibility, and create order and meaning in their lives as a foundation for both personal well-being and societal stability.
