Wisdom was once regarded as a subject worthy of rigorous scholarly inquiry in order to understand its nature and benefits; however until recently wisdom has been relatively overlooked as a topic for serious scholarly and scientific investigation. It is difficult to imagine a subject more central to the highest aspirations of being human. The study of wisdom holds great promise for shedding light on and opening up new insights for human flourishing.
Led by University of Chicago faculty, in collaboration with scientists at other institutions, we investigate big questions in the field that have the greatest potential of influencing research, education, policy and professions: What is the relationship between expertise and wisdom? How does experience increase wisdom? What is the relationship between cognitive, social and emotional processes in mediating wisdom?
Maybe that deep voice of that woman may give her stature, status, presence, but I barely can understand her. On the opposite side, Deepak's higher pitch. Easy to hear and understand.
According to him liberal democracy is on the way out in Hungary and Poland? ...and he wrote a book with the title of Why Smart People Can Be So Stupid? He should just look in the mirror.
Willing to bet you only did this interview because she’s coming up for re-election. One she will hopefully lose. She will lose if justice still exists. Shame on you for trying to prop up this scum buckets image. Nothing wise about this channel
Thanks for your opinion and starting a discussion! Please feel to connect me with your suggestion for someone else in the area of justice and wise decision making (wisdom@uchicago.edu)
Loved hearing this conversation from Sternberg. My dissertation was on Wisdom, Leadership, and Constructive-Developmental Theory. Sternberg's work greatly influenced this work. So grateful to hear him in person speak to ethics in leadership and wisdom overall. Thanks to the university for making this possible.
Easier to identify the wisdom of an act than wisdom of a wise person. Proverbs 17:28 Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent, and discerning if they hold their tongues.
can one create a habit of wisdom? If I think about myself in the third person too much, will I be less integrated? What if the situation requires swift and decisive action?
one needs the concept to identify the class, and yet, one needs the class to identify the class to identify the concept. To try to gather sages, you would have to have some sort of guiding principle of identifying them for inclusion. Once you have gathered them, then you could then begin to identify the essence common to each of the examples picked. So anyone making such a grouping assumes they exist, assumes an essence of them, and assumes they have some idea of what it is. But where do each of these assumptions come from? Would you consider a successful general as a sage? Regardless of this criticism, I am very interested in whatever degree of success you have with this project.
The morning session has now completed. The afternoon session will start at 1:30 CST. You can find the feed for this session on this same RU-vid Channel.
