Wisdom the ability to make sensible decisions and giving good advice because of the experience and knowledge that you have. Wisdom is a form of understanding that unities a reflective attitude and a practical concern. The aim of the attitude is to understand the fundamental nature of reality that it significance for living a good life. The object of the practical concern is to form a reasonable conception of a good life, given the agents' character and circumstance, and to evaluate the situations in which they have to make decisions and act from its point of view. These evaluations are often difficult because many situations are complex, conceptions of a good life are incompletely formed, and the variability of the individual character and circumstances render general principles insufficiently specific. Wisdom may be identified then with good judgment about the evaluation of the complex situation and conception of good life in the light of reflective understanding of a human condition.
Although wisdom is what philosophy is meant to be a love of, little attention has been paid to this essential component of good lives in post classical western philosophy. It is perhaps for this reason that those in search of it often turn to the obscurities of oriental religious for enlightment.
