I am foolishly considering giving a couple of talks on the basics of patent practice at my undergraduate alma mater.

I started down a rabbit hole of “miseducation” and ended up landing on references to “Paideia” which is NOT a Western Christian concept, since it predates Jesus Christ and has roots in Ancient Greece.

Paideia = the well-rounded education of a member of the Greek polis to produce a broad enlightened mature outlook harmoniously combined with maximum cultural development

The idea of #Paideia comes from the ancient #pagan #hellenic culture and aims to unfold the human potential to become #aristocratic in the original Greek meaning of becoming the very best of your self. The concept tries to gain #arete, often mistranslated as virtue but meaning rather "excellence", of the human potential. That means to embody the idea of a healthy, just, creative and good being to uphold the idea of human nature in the meaning the ancient #greek had.
