When I was young, my parents used to get me to various museums, theaters, archeological grounds in Greece, exploring the real places the history have been written. Since then, my love for history and strategy has grown, let me consumed vast volumes of historical, autobiographical, philosophical and strategical oriented texts of the past, trying to find more reasons and causes for the how’s and the what’s that have become self-evidence in our days.

Of course, Lyceum, excellent idea. I can add on it, what would you say for a small skype discussion about philosophy, strategy, and thinking! Perhaps, if you like we would arrange a small online seminar (webinar) on this if there is an interest. I can provide a suitable infrastructure for a larger audience (no cost involved, of course).

Hi, Lyceum, nice to hear from you! Thinking strategically is a larger concept involving intention, conscious deep thinking about certain things (including your prime directives, values, limitations, etc.), thought about ramifications,etc. In short is a mode of thinking and action.

Acting by tactics is a shorter concept, and usually referred to following tactics, recipes, blueprints, without really considering much about their origin, their usage, their limitations etc. At acting by tactics you focused only on results.

In my mind, the acting by tactics is a genuine subset of the thinking strategically concept and you can legitimately use it without a problem when you have clarified all of its "pre-requisites" and specific of this tactic(s).
