A practical inquiry into wisdom and everyday ethical judgment

Cheryl Cross examines wisdom as a foundation for living well, framing it not simply as knowledge but as a capacity that shapes both personal choices and their effects on others. Part of the Exploring a Good Life, Wisdom and the Mind series, the book is organized around central questions: what wisdom is, what it means to act wisely, and why doing so can be difficult. It identifies obstacles to wiser judgment and presents strategies intended to address them. The emphasis remains on applying philosophical reflection to the decisions and habits that contribute to a good life.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in ethics and moral philosophy
  • Readers seeking a practical framework for thinking about wise decisions
  • Those interested in the Exploring a Good Life, Wisdom and the Mind series

Book overview

Wisdom is the way to a good life. The wiser we are, the more likely we, and those we affect, will have a good life.
But what is wisdom? What does it mean to be wise? What stops us from being wiser? How can we increase our wisdom?
In this book we seek to better understand wisdom and how to be wiser more often. We identify the problems that make it difficult for us to be wise, and then develop strategies that we can use to help us overcome these problems and thus help us be wiser more often - and thus, help us to achieve a better life for ourselves and those we affect.
This book is the second book in the series Exploring a Good Life, Wisdom and the Mind.
