Is good character something that can be taught? And could philosophy help us to create better leaders?

In this conversation, Massimo Pigliucci and David Fideler discuss Massimo's new book, "The Quest for Character: What the Story of Socrates and Alcibiades Teaches Us About Our Search for Good Leaders."

Massimo and David also discuss how ancient philosophy emphasized the character development as the basis of ethics — and how these ideas helped give birth to both the Renaissance and the humanities.
