Wisdom : Its Nature, Origins, and Development

Rating:
Summary: Very useful
Review: This book is one of the best I have seen for attempting to circumscribe, describe, and subtly prescribe what the concept of wisdom is .
While taking my philosophy degree I was concerned with the manner that our professors would state truths as declaritive certainties. Truth was determinate, fixed, and eternal.
After living a life for a while, these truths that were supposed to give an internal compass to action appeared too facile. A more empirical and responsive approach seemed to be called for
This book describes wisdom in a way that is much more responsive to the real actions and life as its lived. I see it as a more integrated and balanced approach.
