Wisdom is more than information: it is knowing what matters and seeing things as they are. The traditions personify it as Sophia and Ḥokhmah, cultivate it as prajñā and as Aristotle’s practical wisdom, and seek it in the Daoist sage. Most hold that it cannot be separated from compassion and humility.
Wisdom
Knowledge joined to understanding and right living; in contemplative traditions, insight into ultimate truth.
