What is wisdom? What does a wise person know? Can a wise person
know how to act and live well without knowing the whys and
wherefores of his own action? How is wisdom acquired? This Element
addresses questions regarding the nature and acquisition of wisdom
by developing and defending a skill theory of wisdom. Specifically,
this theory argues that if a person S is wise, then (i) S knows
that overall attitude success contributes to or constitutes
well-being; (ii) S knows what the best means to achieve well-being
are; (iii) S is reliably successful at acting and living well (in
light of what S knows); and (iv) S knows why she is successful at
acting and living well. The first three sections of this Element
develop this theory, and the final two sections defend this theory
against two objections to the effect that there are asymmetries
between wisdom and skill.
