Peter Bolland is professor of philosophy and humanities at Southwestern College. He is the author of The Seven Stone Path: An Everyday Journey to Wisdom. In this talk, he will discuss the search for wisdom as humanity’s oldest quest. What is wisdom? And how is it different from knowledge? Is wisdom a body of information, or a way of being in the world? Is it universal or culturally specific? Why do so many wisdom traditions agree that wisdom is ineffable, that is, exists beyond language and concepts? Philosophy, the academic discipline generally tasked with this inquiry, is rife with conflicting perspectives on these most pressing questions. Join us as Professor Bolland surveys the landscape of wisdom and moves us closer toward articulating its mysterious power. Visit:
