Science: Stephen S. Hall: 'Wisdom'
We all recognize wisdom, but defining it is more elusive. (Possessing it? Harder still) Writer Stephen S. Hall, author of Wisdom: From Philosophy to Neuroscience, explores the science of wisdom, from its earliest consideration in the fifth century B.C. to its modern manifestations in education, politics, and the workplace. And while work in the last 50 years has begun to shed light on the biology of cognitive traits associated with wisdom and how we might cultivate it. Hall discovers that despite our best efforts, this essential human capacity continues to defy easy understanding. Presented as part of Seattle Science Lectures, with Pacific Science Center and University Book Store. Series sponsored by Microsoft.
