About this Blog

In this blog I seek to invoke old and modern political and moral philosophers to answer modern questions about policy; about the right thing to do. I will also comment on current events, and hope to soon have more people collaborating on this blog so it does not fall prey to one opinion.

Lycaeum (the original name of this blog) refers to an academy of political thought, like that first established by Aristotle. 

For more on Practical Wisdom, Barry Swartz gives an excellent TEDtalk, a link is in the recommended TEDtalks page. He has also published a book under the obvious name that is much recommended.
