[[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 [[Aristotle]]'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. Reese
