Plato stated that wisdom concerned knowledge of the whole and that wisdom required both scientific and practical knowledge.  Aristotle differentiated practical wisdom (prudence) from speculative wisdom (wisdom).  For Aristotle practical wisdom concerned the conduct of life while speculative wisdom related to theology and the philosophy of origins.  A later follower of Aristotole's distincitions was Thomas Aquinas.  Baruch Spinoza differentiated wisdom between "the ratio" or reason and "scientia intuitiva" or intuitive knowledge.  [Dictionary of Philosophy and Religion, W.L.
