In recent times, you may have noticed the term "polymath" gaining prominence across the web. It's a concept that's been echoed frequently: the "era of the polymath" is upon us. But what does it truly mean to be a polymath in today's world, and why is this concept gaining so much traction?
I invite you all to engage in a thoughtful discussion surrounding three critical questions:
1. Do you identify yourself as an expert, generalist, or polymath?
To kick off our conversation, let's explore how we view ourselves in terms of expertise. Are you a specialist deeply immersed in a single domain (we call them also 'experts'), a generalist with a broad range of skills and knowledge, or perhaps, like me, a polymath navigating multiple disciplines with enthusiasm? Share your experiences, and let's understand the diverse perspectives within our community. Find further insight on PS21 distinction of the three categories in this blog article.
2. Why do you think that now is the "era of the polymath"?
There's been a surge of interest in polymathy lately, driven by a recognition that we're living in an age where polymaths are not only valued but crucial. What are your thoughts on this? What societal, technological, or cultural shifts have contributed to the rise of the polymath, considering especially the aspect of creativity in industry and economic transformation 5.0? Let's dive into the reasons behind this phenomenon and explore its implications.
3. What key traits should educational institutions assess to identify polymaths for specific jobs and support their personal well-being?
As we acknowledge the growing significance of polymaths, it's essential to consider how educational institutions can nurture and recognize these individuals. What traits should be evaluated when identifying polymathic talents for industry roles. (Read more on the challenge of polymathic psychometrics) ? Equally important, how can we ensure their holistic development and well-being as they traverse diverse domains?
I'm eager to hear your insights and engage in a vibrant discussion. Feel free to share your thoughts, experiences, and any resources or research that shed light on these questions. Let's explore the era of the polymath together and pave the way for a more interdisciplinary, dynamic future.
