Synthetic wisdom.

Abstract:

:Wisdom is a special kind of virtue. It is not to be identified with any outstanding cognitive ability-like having a prodigious memory or knowing a lot. Rather it consists in seeing what is most important and most valuable, either within a particular domain or in life as a whole. In the life of a wise person, that insight should be accompanied by traits of character, enabling the person to pursue what is seen as valuable. Viewing wisdom as a capacity for synthetic understanding, I argue for the need for philosophy, even at a time when all of us have much to learn from the sciences.

  • Dietary fats, fish, and blood pressure.

    abstract::In humans any effects of dietary saturated fats or omega-6 polyunsaturates on blood pressure appear to be mediated by changes in caloric intake and long-term weight changes. In contrast, omega-3 fatty acids have a mild antihypertensive effect which is seen most clearly in untreated subjects with higher blood pressures...
