《专注力》(Focus)和《情商》(Emotional Intelligence)的作者丹尼尔·戈尔曼(Daniel Goleman)认为,“智慧的特征之一是拥有宽广的见识,且并不以自己”甚至自己所在的团体或组织为中心。
He said an important sign of wisdom was "generativity,” a term used by the psychologist Erik Erikson, who developed an influential theory on stages of the human life span. Generativity means giving back without needing anything in return, Dr. Goleman said. The form of giving back could be creative, social, personal or financial, and "the wisest people do that in a way that doesn't see their lifetime as limiting when this might happen,” he said.
心理学家埃里克·埃里克松(Erik Erikson)提出了人生社会心理发展阶段这一影响深远的理论,他还使用“慷慨”这一术语来形容智慧。戈尔曼博士说,“慷慨”是智慧的一个重要标志,它表示不求回报的付出。付出的形式多种多样,可以是创造力方面的,社会意义上的,个人角度上的,也可以是经济层面上的,此外,“智者还认为,生有涯,贡献却无涯,”他说。
Dr. Goleman interviewed Erikson, along with his wife, Joan, in the late 1980s, when both were in their 80s. Erikson's theory of human development had initially included eight stages, from infancy to old age. When the Eriksons themselves reached old age, though, they found a need to add a ninth stage of development, one in which wisdom plays a crucial role. "They depict an old age in which one has enough conviction in one's own completeness to ward off the despair that gradual physical disintegration can too easily bring," Dr. Goleman wrote in The Times.
