Building on the Developmental Model of Polymathy (Araki, 2015, 2018, 2020; Araki & Cotellessa, 2020), polymathy is conceived here as a mode of engagement with life (particularly with learning, knowing, and doing) rather than as a status label. It describes a patterned way of engaging with knowledge, understood broadly to include formal and informal learning, autodidactic activity, and meaningful personal experience. This framing emphasizes not only how learning is acquired, but how it is developed, refined, and enacted over time. Polymathy as a life project (Araki, 2018) therefore goes beyond an inventory of competencies or achievements to describe a way of living with and through knowledge.
Proposed definition by Michael Araki (https://www.qeios.com/read/XROC7M) - I know some people that should read it.

Everything in my life has compounded. I think that is normal for anyone really. However looking back, it is crazy how some of those dots got connected. #polymathy #stevejobs #connectingthedots

📢#OutNow in #OA: 'The Last Man Who Knew Everything: #ThomasYoung' by Andrew Robinson, foreword by Martin Rees.
No one has given the #polymath Thomas Young (1773–1829) the all-around examination he so richly deserves—until now. Celebrated #biographer Andrew Robinson portrays a man who solved mystery after mystery in the face of ridicule and rejection and never sought fame.
This #biography is the fascinating story of a driven yet modest hero who cared less about what others thought of him than for the joys of an unbridled pursuit of knowledge—with a new foreword by Martin Rees and a new postscript discussing #polymathy in the two centuries since the time of Young. It returns this neglected genius to his proper position in the pantheon of great #scientific thinkers.
