From Knowledge to Wisdom: A Revolution for Science and the Humanities
Pentire Press, 2007.
by Nicholas Maxwell
From Knowledge to Wisdom argues that there is an urgent need, for both
intellectual and humanitarian reasons, to bring about a revolution in
science and the humanities. The outcome would be a kind of academic
inquiry rationally devoted to helping humanity learn how to create a
better world. The basic intellectual aim of inquiry would be to seek
and promote wisdom - wisdom being the capacity to realize what is of
value in life for oneself and others, thus including knowledge and
technological know-how, but much else besides.
