Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. At once a masterclass in wisdom and a unique historical insight, this book brilliantly explores the nature of human wisdom from the perspective of a past era. Opening with a foundational exploration of the definition of wisdom, the author draws upon diverse wisdom traditions to make connections between the past and present. The author offers a practical guide to cultivating wisdom in oneself, including valuable lessons in learning from the classics and the importance of self-knowledge. Going beyond mere platitudes, the book presents a fresh exploration of the distinctions and connections between a number of human faculties, from imagination to understanding, reason, and memory. With these faculties serving as the basis for many of the complicated emotions and feelings that define humanity, the author uses them as a pathway into the richness of the human experience. Timely and thought-provoking, this book offers valuable insights into how we can each find our own wisdom in the world today.
