Notes About Wisdom (Wolff Eng 100b)

Wisdom- the knowing not of facts but of truths about human nature and the processes of life.

Solomon, socrates:wisdom incarnate
Athena, minerva: wisdom deified

Wisdom can only survive as a cultural ideal where there is a possibility of vertical consciouness.

Wisdom is a seeing thru facts, a penetration to the underlying laws and patterns

Own definition: based on experiences to become wise, understand more in depth about an idea or process instead of the facts given (connection)
