[[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]
