Definición

  • Introduction A first approach to the definition of wisdom from a psychological perspective is its treatment in dictionaries. The major German historical dictionary, for instance, defined wisdom as ‘insight and knowledge about oneself and the world … and sound judgement in the case of difficult life problems’. Similarly, the Oxford Dictionary includes in its definition of wisdom: ‘Good judgement and advice in difficult and uncertain matters of life.’ In a next step, psychologists further specified the content and formal properties of wisdom-related phenomena.
