An Ontological Approach to the Innate Cognition in Human Being Emphasizing the Principles of Transcendental Wisdom
No full textHuman, who is the symbol of the Divine Names and has displayed a glorious resemblance to his Creator from among the creatures, alongside the wisdom, has taken his glory from an innate nature based on the divine nature. This gift, which has been expanded in both the cognitive aspect and the tendencies of human beings, has made his essence insightful, which is also the source of his innate desires. After dividing the innate perceptions into the knowledge by presence and the knowledge by acquisition, the innate perceptions of the knowledge by presence is the immediate reception of information that has been intertwined with human nature. Explaining the features such as the existence of the innate cognitions by presence, its skepticism, and also the examination of how the union is between the knowing to innate cognition and its known among the ontological coordinates of this knowledge in man. Undoubtedly the incomparable precisions of the transcendental wisdom among the philosophical schools has been the only reason the author has discussed the subject of this study from the same perspective
Wisdom in the Bible
No full textFollowing a general introduction to Wisdom literature and its significance in the ancient East, the author discusses the significance of such literature in Israel. Wisdom was the key to understanding the basic dimensions of Biblical messages: the relation between belief and life. Wisdom is afforded divine properties. The redeeming importance of Wisdom is emphasized. In this sense, Jesus is a teacher of Wisdom and a sage: the embodiment of Wisdom. Today, when the danger of the Gnostic misuse of Wisdom has passed, the author suggests that it would again be worthwhile to attach greater weight to this dimension in theology and in the evangelization of the world
Leveraging the Wisdom of the Crowds
No full textWisdom of the crowds is the idea that groups of people can collectively make wise decisions. Research suggests that these crowds can even outsmart experts. To gather the wisdom of the crowds, this project utilizes a prediction market. To successfully gather the wisdom of the crowds, a predictionmarket has to overcome serious challenges, such as gathering a large and active user base, and deciding on a fair initialmarket value. The main goal of the project is to create a prediction market that can overcome these challenges and successfully gather the wisdom of the crowds. Research has been done in the field of prediction markets. This process started with researching the theory behind prediction markets, the wisdom of the crowds. After that evaluating existing prediction markets and reviewing literature related to those markets was useful. Before and during the research phase, clear goals were set for the project, together with a clear set of requirements. These goals can be divided into: leveraging the wisdomof the crowd, solving problems associated with predictionmarkets and developing a product that is easily maintainable. The final product reaches the goals of the project and meets the requirements. The prediction market correctly aggregates the estimations of users on the market, and provides probabilities on real-world events. These probabilities are contained in the values on the market. The prediction markets solves the problems encountered on other prediction markets. The project makes use of gamification, an automated marketmaker and a reward system to correctly initialise market values. The system was thoroughly tested and developed with maintainability in mind.Computer Science and Engineerin
In Search of Sophia: Seeking wisdom in adult teaching and learning spaces - An Autoethnographic Inquiry
No full textThis thesis explores the relatively under-theorised relationship between wisdom and adult teaching and learning. Whilst studies of wisdom are usually couched within a psychological framework, and/or one related to gerontology, this work poses key questions about what wisdom means, whether it can be taught, and the extent to which its elusive and allusive character has rendered it marginal to the design and delivery of adult and lifelong learning. Using autoethnography as both method and methodology, and by drawing on a diverse range of sources, including six interviews, this pursuit of wisdom is anchored in the reflexive relationship between the author and her subject of study. Key ontological and epistemological questions are posed as I seek meaning in relation to my lifeworld and lifespan. I also examine autoethnography’s efficacy whilst acknowledging criticisms within the academy, including accusations of narcissistic irrelevance. This study also incorporates the use of ‘writing as inquiry’ by way of offering a further challenge to the more traditional bounds of the social sciences. The interview material is couched within a fictionalised framework, and the whole thesis unfolds, conterminously, as both analysis and quest. In keeping with the methodological approach, the thesis concludes by offering a synthesis of certain of its propositions, rather than resolution.
By adopting Sophia, the ancient goddess of wisdom, as metaphorical guide, the basic proposition that is shared across the text is the epistemologically fragmented nature of our understanding of wisdom and her relegation in a frenetic world which can be obsessed with the measurable as against the deepening of understanding. Yet the paradoxical nature of wisdom’s manifestations might also offer a degree of hope, should we heed her call…I argue that she is intimately intertwined with learning itself and with the potential for heartfelt and imaginative openness to the wisdom of ‘unknowing’ and the possibility of transcendence. However, Sophia demands our imaginative, authentic, loving and courageous attention in the process: in writing; in the classroom; in understanding the play of history, culture and the self. This autoethnographic inquiry is my response to that demand
Virtue of Political Wisdom
No full textThe author considers the virtue of wisdom as the decisive one for every policy and political activity. Politically wisdom is shown: a) by being orientated towards good aims in political matters, not bein selfish and obstinate, b) by trying to understand and master complex relationships, but not putting things before man, c) by being able to resolve difficult situations, to discern and govern them, but not as an opportunist. The author shows the limits of thus conceived wisdom which can only be a human quality. For christian politicians it is challenge to question the meaning of the christian virtue of prudency as a kind of fortification, shelter and overcoming of a merely natural common sense. The christian politician, in his wisdom, retains a place for the cardinal christian virtues: faith, hope and charity
Paradigma Etika Publik dalam Kearifan Lokal Pela
No full text ABSTRACT This paper is based on the basic preposition that local wisdom contains values of virtue that can contribute to the development of public ethics. By examining the Pela cultural institutions in Maluku, this paper intends to answer two main questions: what is Pela’s value of virtues and how to link these values in the framework of developing public ethics relevant to inclusive humanity. The writing aims to offer a thought about public ethics by digging its source from one of the local wisdom of the people of Maluku, namely Pela. The development of the public ethics perspective refers to the concern about the actual context of society, namely pluralism, ethnicity and religion. In this paper, in addition to literature review, the author also uses participatory observation methods and in-depth interviews as data collection techniques, while data analysis is done in the groove of attending, telling, transcribing, analyzing, reading and rewriting. Through this paper, the author arrives at the finding that not only religions are the source of the values of virtue, but also local wisdom (local genius). Pela also has the values of the virtue, such as brotherhood, equality and goodness. The excavation and discovery of these values contribute to theoretical thinking and public ethical praxis, particularly in a pluralistic Indonesian context. Keywords: Pela, public ethics, pluralism, local wisdom.
Wisdom and Law in Old Testament Wisdom Literature
No full textIn this article the author shows how the Jewish understanding of wisdom and law changed, especially in the intertestamental period. Wisdom, under the influence of Hellenistic thought, became almost a personal mediator between God and man, although it had originally been used to describe a certain style of living. The word law also underwent a change from its first meaning of guidance, to a later meaning in Deuteronomy of the revelation of Yahweh\u27s will to Israel, to the final identification of law with wisdom as the mediator between God and His creation, including especially man

Evolving Wisdom Theory, published by Yoesoep Edhie Rachmad in 2018 in his book "Evolving Wisdom Theory" by Casa Editrice Saggezza, emerged from the need to understand how wisdom can develop and adapt amidst rapid social and technological changes. This theory is based on the observation that wisdom is not static; rather, it must continuously evolve to remain relevant and effective in facing new challenges. The theory's background includes the complex dynamics of modern life, which demand more informed and wise perspectives for making sound decisions.
Evolving Wisdom Theory refers to the concept that wisdom is a dynamic process that continuously evolves through experience, learning, and reflection. This concept emphasizes that wisdom is not just the accumulation of knowledge but also the ability to apply that knowledge wisely and insightfully. Evolving wisdom involves integrating knowledge, reflection, and a deep understanding of changing situations and contexts.
The phenomena underlying this theory include rapid social and technological changes that require constant adaptation in how we understand and approach the world. Global uncertainties and the complexity of problems also necessitate wise and reflective approaches to find effective solutions. In this context, evolving wisdom becomes crucial to help individuals and organizations navigate emerging challenges and opportunities.
The working principle of Evolving Wisdom Theory involves continuous learning, deep reflection, and integrating knowledge from various sources. This includes efforts to understand past experiences, analyze current situations, and apply insights to make wise decisions for the future. This process requires openness to new learning, willingness to evaluate and adjust understandings, and commitment to continuous growth in wisdom.
Indicators in this theory include the level of self-reflection, the ability to integrate knowledge from diverse sources, the quality of decisions made, and improvements in understanding and insight. Other indicators include satisfaction in achieving goals, the ability to face and overcome challenges wisely, and enhancements in social and personal well-being.
Operational variables in Evolving Wisdom Theory include self-reflection, continuous learning, knowledge integration, and applying insights. These variables measure how well individuals and groups can develop dynamic and effective wisdom in various contexts.
This theory can be applied in various fields, including Human Resource Management (HRM), Psychology, Education, Social Communication, Management, and Health. In HRM, this theory helps develop policies and practices that support continuous learning and employee wisdom development. In psychology, it supports therapies focusing on self-reflection and personal growth. In education, this theory encourages integrative and reflective learning approaches. In social communication, it facilitates dialogues that support collective understanding and wisdom. In management, it helps develop wise and adaptive strategies. In health, it promotes holistic and insightful care approaches.
The factors determining the successful application of Evolving Wisdom Theory include self-awareness, reflection skills, an organizational culture that supports continuous learning, access to resources for wisdom development, and an environment that promotes openness and dialogue. Support from visionary leaders and organizational commitment to encouraging growth in wisdom are also crucial.
Implementing this theory involves strategies such as educational and training programs focusing on reflection and continuous learning, developing policies that support ongoing learning, promoting employee engagement in reflective processes, and using technology to facilitate access to knowledge and learning. These strategies aim to create environments that support the dynamic development of wisdom at both individual and organizational levels.
Challenges in applying this theory include resistance to change, lack of skills in reflection and continuous learning, and limited resources to support wisdom development programs. However, support can come from visionary leaders, inclusive organizational cultures, and access to technology that facilitates learning and communication. Success in achieving wisdom goals can also reinforce the commitment to future wisdom growth.
Evolving Wisdom Theory by Yoesoep Edhie Rachmad offers a vital framework for understanding and developing dynamic and adaptive wisdom. By enhancing self-reflection, continuous learning, and knowledge integration, individuals and organizations can make wiser decisions and achieve greater well-being. This theory is relevant in various fields and offers practical strategies for implementation, despite the challenges it faces. With continuously evolving wisdom, individuals and groups can achieve deeper understanding and make sustainable positive impacts in their lives.

Philosophy, A Challenge To Post-Truth, Also in Indonesia
No full textThis article insists that it is the task of philosophy to challenge untruth under the guise of truth. In the first part the author follows how philosophy changed from teachings of wisdom to critique of false truth claims: beginning with Eastern philosophy, with special consideration of Javanese wisdom, through Greek philosophy where philosophy comes into its own right, to Medieval philosophy, until enlightenment clearly establishes philosophy as criticism. Hegel and Critical Philosophy are given special attention. In the second part the author stresses the importance of critical philosophy for Indonesia. He exemplifies this on three widely accepted untruths: untruth about what happened in Indonesia in 1965 and 1966, the claim that Pancasila is incompatible with liberal democracy, and the claim of religious extremism to present truth about religion. The article ends with appeal to defend our democratic freedoms without compromise
The author of the Book of Wisdom and the date of its origin (1)
No full textThis article is the first part of a longer essay, which is divided into two parts. The Book of Wisdom is a special book in the Bible. It is the youngest book of the Old Testament, but Canon Muratori enlists it among the New Testament books. Many manuscripts and old translations call this book the Wisdom of Salomonos, because Salomon seemed to be the author of this work (cf. Wis 7–9). Strong arguments exclude his authorship, but it is sure, that an Israelite must have been the author. Although there are many hypotheses about the date of its birth, Sitz im Leben and the wording defend the view that the text must have been written while the Romans ruled in Egypt
