Being Wrong: Understanding Human Fallibility and Learning from Mistakes
Jack Russell Weinstein, Chester Fritz Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, explores why we err and what that means for learning and ethics. He discusses memory’s associative mistakes, why small errors feel embarrassing, the duty to admit and correct wrongs, and how creating safe environments encourages intellectual risk. Conversation mixes philosophical roots with practical implications.
