Wisdom grows only in a soil rich with knowledge and experience, but knowledge and experience provide only the nutrients. Wisdom must be nurtured by curiosity and a desire for understanding. Growing wisdom takes time and effort. Great minds have graced us with records of their struggles towards wisdom. This volume enables us to stand on the shoulders of some of these giants and thereby grow our own wisdom farther - and faster!Growing Wisdom: An Invitation to Western Philosophy comprises an exceptionally affordable, readable, high-quality, scholarly rigorous collection of canonical philosophical texts.
