人類は本当に自分が何を求めているかを知ることができるのか？ | Leo McCann | TEDxKings College School

人が口にする欲求と実際の行動との間のずれは、哲学者が長く問い続けてきたテーマであり、日常的に経験する問題でもあります。話し手のLeo McCannは、投票や量刑など、人が自分の心を知っているという前提で設計された制度が、このずれにどう向き合うべきかを問います。この講演は独立して運営されたTEDxイベントで行われました。話し手はウィンブルドンのKing's College Schoolに通う11年生です。

• 口にする欲求と実際の行動のずれ
• 人は自分の動機を知っているという前提の制度
• TEDxイベントで取り上げられた哲学的な問い

Leo examines the gap between what we say we want and what we actually do, a problem philosophers have worried about for a very long time and which most of us encounter before breakfast. He then asks what it means for institutions, from voting to sentencing, that are designed around the assumption that people know their own minds. Leo is a Year 11 pupil at King's College School, Wimbledon, who is passionate about philosophy, politics, and the delicate link between the two. He has a particular interest in theology, and is a founding member of "Big Questions and the Bible", a club which explores profound questions through a religious lens. Outside school, he enjoys rugby, football, and cricket, and is a keen supporter of AFC Wimbledon. He also loves music and travelling. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
