Barry Schwartz: We need to be wise (from TED)

February 16, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Barry Schwartz gave an inspiring presentation at the recent TED Conference on the need to return to “Practical Wisdom”. Aristotle had defined practical wisdom as “moral will with moral skill”.

Schwartz makes these points about a wise person

  • they know how to improvise
  • they know how to use the moral skills in the use of the right aims
  • they are made not born
