Can wisdom be measured objectively?

Again, could we say mathematics is Philosophy, going by your definition?

Is literature or art also philosophy?


Wisdom can only be measured against truth if it is to objective.

Philosophy is all encompassing.There is a philosophy of mathematics,sciences...even within literature and art the pursuit of truth is present.


Therefore philosophy is the language of truth?

Wisdom is an attribute of a being.

Therefore using your definition; philosophy is the language of a being who pursues truth?

"Therefore using your definition; philosophy is the language of a being who pursues truth?"

Not so fast Tycho!

1.What is language? Is it the same as communication?

2. What is being? Is being the same as doing?

3. What is Truth? How can we can we recognize truth if we meet it?
"The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth." (Niels Bohr)
