The difference between knowledge and wisdom

The difference between knowledge and wisdom

The difference between knowledge and wisdom. Knowledge is human's understanding and mastery of limited knowledge, and wisdom is an enlightenment, an understanding and inference of infinity and eternity. It is very important to have knowledge and wisdom in our life. Let us understand the difference between knowledge and wisdom.

The difference between knowledge and wisdom 1 1. Different concepts

1, knowledge

Knowledge is in line with the direction of civilization, and it is the sum total of human exploration achievements in the material world and the spiritual world. So far, there is no unified and clear definition of knowledge. But the criterion for judging the value of knowledge lies in practicality, considering whether human beings can create new substances and gain strength and motivation.

Plato has a classic definition: a sentence can be called three conditions that knowledge must meet. It must be verified, correct and convincing. This is also the standard to distinguish between science and non-science.

2. Wisdom

Wisdom (in a narrow sense) is an advanced comprehensive ability based on nervous organs (material basis), including perception, knowledge, memory, understanding, association, emotion, logic, discrimination, calculation, analysis, judgment, culture, moderation, tolerance, decision-making and so on.

Wisdom enables people to deeply understand people, things, things, society, universe, present situation, past and future, and has the ability to think, analyze and explore the truth. Different from intelligence, intelligence represents the ultimate function of intellectual organs, similar to metaphysical way of speaking, and intelligence is a metaphysical device of speaking. Wisdom enables us to make decisions leading to success. A wise man is called a wise man.

Second, the citation interpretation is different.

1, knowledge

The achievement or crystallization of human understanding of nature and society. Including empirical knowledge and theoretical knowledge.

Modern Mao Zedong: "Since the class society came into being, there are only two kinds of knowledge in the world, one is called the knowledge of production struggle, and the other is called the knowledge of class struggle. Natural science and social science are the crystallization of these two kinds of knowledge, while philosophy is a summary and summary of knowledge of nature and social knowledge. "

2. Wisdom

Smart.

Modern Yuan Ying's Song of Bonfire: Drawing for Hometown: "Turning the picture into reality with both hands depends on the wisdom and strength of you, me and the people."

Third, the purpose is different.

1, knowledge is only the starting point of real understanding.

2. Wisdom is a profound understanding and vision of things based on knowledge and accumulated through experience, experience and knowledge, which is reflected in an excellent judgment.

The difference between knowledge and wisdom 2 With the development of society, people have greatly improved in many aspects, both spiritually and materially, and our lives have been greatly improved. Man's exploration of knowledge has never stopped. Coupled with human wisdom, our life has become more convenient and our culture has become more beautiful. Therefore, in my opinion, knowledge is not the same as wisdom. Knowledge is visible. Wisdom is what a person gets from the outside world, and what he doesn't see after his subjective judgment and analysis. Knowledge and wisdom can be acquired through practice, but at different levels.

I. Availability of knowledge in today's world

In the past, science and technology were underdeveloped and the economic level was relatively backward, so it was difficult for people to go to school to acquire knowledge. But today, everything we want to know can be obtained through the internet, which of course has caused the inertia of people's thinking to some extent. However, we can get what we want to know in this convenient way. Knowledge is visible and verifiable. In this information age, knowledge becomes cheaper and easier to obtain, but a person's wisdom is not so easy to obtain.

Second, wisdom often makes life better.

Knowledge can be divided into various disciplines. For example, the exam-oriented education we received from childhood is a process of acquiring knowledge. But slowly some people will turn knowledge into wisdom. Wisdom needs to be transformed into something creative through one's own thinking, combined with one's own experiences and feelings. A person's wisdom is invisible, but it can be reflected in his three views, as well as in treating people.

Knowledge and wisdom are two different concepts, and there are also great differences. A man with knowledge is not necessarily wise, and a wise man has limited knowledge. In any case, people should strive to be not only knowledgeable, but also wise, especially in such an innovative era.

The difference between knowledge and wisdom. On knowledge and wisdom

Modern people generally regard the importance of knowledge as very important, but ignore the wisdom that is actually more important. Many scholars have written that from the perspective of knowledge, many modern people have more advantages than the ancient sages of China and the West, especially in the quantity and richness of knowledge. However, from the perspective of wisdom, many of our modern people are far less intelligent than the ancient sages. Why? Is this a fact? You can think about it.

What is the fundamental difference between knowledge and wisdom? I think the fundamental difference is that knowledge is ultimately external to people, while wisdom is internal to people. The amount of knowledge is not proportional to the size and height of wisdom. For individuals, people in society and even all mankind, what really matters is wisdom rather than knowledge. "Wisdom" is the unity of man and nature ("Tao"), which has the origin and no nature, while knowledge is the result of wisdom and has the nature of all things. In the relationship between knowledge and wisdom, people should never put the cart before the horse. A wise person must be able to acquire and control knowledge, while a person with a lot of knowledge does not necessarily have great and noble wisdom.

People should pay more attention to "wisdom" in self-education and social education, rather than focusing on the knowledge of "death" and "result". The fundamental reason why traditional and classic things are important is that they condense the wisdom of mankind in the past, not just the gathering of knowledge. It is foolish for modern people to ignore and despise the profound wisdom contained in classics.

What we need to reflect on most urgently in all kinds of education at all levels is the misunderstanding of knowledge and wisdom by people (educators and educatees) and the bad consequences brought by their actions.
