“Philosophic wisdom is the highest kind of wisdom because it combines:

1 Scientific knowledge – Knowing universal truths.

2 Intuitive reason – Understanding first principles.

Philosophic wisdom aims to grasp the biggest, most important truths.

Anaxagoras and Thales were called wise. This wasn't due to practicality. Instead, they grasped deep, complex truths about the universe.

However, philosophic wisdom is not the same as practical wisdom.

• Philosophic wisdom seeks knowledge for its own sake.

• Practical wisdom helps us make good choices in life.”
