Intellectual Virtues for Comprehensive Practice @Comprehensivist Wednesday

This group exploration will examine intellectual virtues to better guide us in developing our comprehensivity, our ability to comprehend our worlds broadly for context and deeply for clarity by taking seriously Buckminster Fuller's aspiration of "wanting to understand all and put everything together".

This event will examine a short 10 minute video on intellectual virtues by Linda Zagzebski.

Welcome to the series "Comprehensivist Wednesdays".

Our comprehensivity is an innate-in-children but largely absent-in-schooling proclivity to comprehend the world and each other broadly and deeply. Its guiding epistemic virtue is to strive toward "the adequately macro-comprehensive and micro-incisive" (to slightly repurpose Buckminster Fuller's words).

Here is a playlist of introductory topics on comprehensive learning.
