imanxman rated 13 days ago- From the page: "Science has been very successful at producing knowledge. But knowledge without wisdom, or science without civilization, is a dangerous thing, according to Nicholas Maxwell. And the reason we have the one without the other, he believes, is that science, as now practiced, does not question its own purposes or investigate its own presuppositions. It transforms the world but cannot transform itself. Nicholas Maxwell is a philosopher of science, now retired from University College, London, and the author of From Knowledge to Wisdom, first published in 1984 and just reissued in a revised edition. He argues â€" these are his own words â€" that: â€oeWe need a revolution in the aims and methods of academic inquiry, so that the basic aim becomes to promote wisdom by rational means, instead of just to acquire knowledge.” Nicholas Maxwell makes his case In the final episode of our series." This Lecture is one of the most profound things I have ever heard, and I have plumbed some pretty stygian depths.

- This is a collection of episodes of Ideas all along a similar vein of though. Unfortunately the episodes are only available in the UNPOPULAR Real(TM) Media format. Really CBC... Public radio should not be intellectual property.
