Description & Coverage
Description:

Since wisdom is the ultimate human virtue, its application is important for humans and civilization.

Cognitive Informatics and Wisdom Development: Interdisciplinary Approaches argues that wise civilization cannot function without wise people and vice versa, that wise people cannot function without positive conditions for the development of wise civilization. Using the cognitive informatics approach as a basis for the investigation of wisdom, this book offers solutions on how to study and evaluate the state of wisdom in 21st century society and the requirements for wise civilization and its monitoring systems.

Reviews & Statements

The purpose of this book is to evaluate the questions: Is wisdom investigated enough in scholarly research?, and if not, what is wisdom? Since wisdom is the ultimate human virtue, it seems that its application is very important for humans and civilization. This book provides a theory of wisdom and its applications in the broad context of civilization. The book is written for all those who are interested in wisdom and particularly in its nature and applications.
