This book derives from a 1993 National Endowment for the Humanities
Summer Institute on Knowledge, Teaching, and Wisdom. The Institute
took place at the University of California, Berkeley, and was
co-directed by Keith Lehrer and Nicholas D. Smith. The aims of the
Institute were several: we sought to reintroduce wisdom as a topic
of discussion among contemporary philosophers, to undertake an
historical investigation of how and when and why it was that wisdom
faded from philosophical view, and to ask how contemporary
epistemological theories might apply to the obviously related
subjects of teaching and wisdom. In recruiting participants, Lehrer
and Smith put the greatest emphasis on those with professional
interests in epistemology and the history of philosophy, of the
ancient Greeks especially ancient Greek philosophy (because in the
writings all three subjects of the Institute were explicitly
related and discussed). But in addition to these two groups, some
effort was made also to include others, with academic
specializations in a variety of fields other than epistemology and
the history of philosophy, to ensure that a broad perspective could
be achieved in our discussions. To an obvious extent, the papers in
this book reflect the recruitment emphases and variety. They also
testify to the extent that the Institute managed to bring life to
our subjects, and to raise very old questions in a contemporary
context.
