We begin the second half of the semester with a different professor, with a different philosophy on teaching. We are presented with the different forms of wisdom: Theoretical and Practical. Theoretical Wisdom is a true and justified understanding of the facts about reality. Practical Wisdom is having a correct and justified set of values for living with. I feel that it is important for people to have a balance between the two. It is important to know the facts when making a decision (Theoretical) but you shouldn't base your decision just on the facts. You also have to take into account the ethics and morals behind your decision. (Practical) As a result, to live a meaningful life one should be both theoretically and practically wise.
