knowledge and the zest to learn and become more grows to be wisdom. knowledge can be taught. you become knowledgeable in an area though school books etc. the state of being wise can not be achieved by all....well thats my opinion at least.

The difference is pretty simple: when you have wisdom, you are able to work out and select all the information that is available to you and focus on usefull knowledge, instead of having a lot of knowledge and sell it to any rich bozo.

Knowledge is acquired through learning and gathering of knowledge but wisdom is gained through questioning the knowledge of others and integrating that knowledge with your own.

knowlege may be obtained from memorization, from reading a book and knowing every fact inside it. However, wisdom requires experience. To become wise, a person must experince the whole spectrum of the worrld as well as peoples ideas and emotion. Besides that, wisdom requires a preson to draw a conclusion from everything they experienced or have heard and learned of, then put that into an idea...therefore making a person wise.

I would simply say that knowledge is information and data, which are considered the backbone toward making decisions. Now utilizing this information combined with vision will determine if someone is wisdom or not. And remember, wisdom is not experience. Because I believe that wisdom is making the right decisions without any previous experience.

All the replies that point out the differences between quantitative and qualitative information are perfectly correct, in terms of dictionary truth. Knowledge is information, wisdom is always in formation. Kabalists are familiar with these terms - the glyph of the Tree of Life has two spheres named 'knowledge' (Da'ath) and 'wisdom' (chokmah). Da'ath is the 'unmanifest' sphere of the Bardo realms, often associated with death for reasons other than merely philological. Knowledge is seen as the bridge across the Abyss linking the upper spheres of chakras with the lower. The sphere of 'wisdom' is the realm of the patriarchs (the right side) - it's unbalanced on its own and is never complete without its feminine complement - 'understanding' (known as Binah). They are not the same thing. In kaballah, knowledge lies between and beneath wisdom and understanding, and all lead from and to the Crown of Illumination. Just a thot.

In my opinion, knowledge can be acquired through formal education. Knowledge is the *truth* that was reached through others' experience. One truth that always can be changed by others experiences, originating a new knowledge, a new truth. Wisdom implies observing, wondering, experiencing, reflecting on "reality". The result of these behaviour can be wisdom when it creates a truth. Someone, don't remember who, said that wisdom is what we keep after having forgotten everything we have learned. It's a different way of explaining it. :-)

Knowledge and wisdom, while closely related, are fundamentally different. Knowledge is quantitative, facts and data can be recorded, counted, and categorized, Indeed much is in books and Libraries. And yes much knowledge is incorrect but this can be corrected, See my post 'Common Knowledge' Feb 25 '08. Wisdom is qualitative and is reflected in what we say and do, It is also fluid as what is wise one day may not be another. Also actions and words are not always completely right or wrong. They may be so-so, inconclusive, or rude without being correct or incorrect. Analyzing the brain may show where data are stored and processed but no analysis will show wisdom, as it is almost spiritual. Religion is not necessary for wisdom, but most wise people are somewhat spiritual. However many religious people are very unwise due to man's corruption of most, if not all, religious teaching with layers of dogma and rules. Instinctive behavior should not be considered here because it does not require thought or consideration, and many instinctive behaviors are not very wise. Young children acting on instinct often do unwise things. While we are talking about being unwise, I just heard on the news that the Catholic Church has added 7 more deadly sins. the last being 'Becoming Obscenely Wealthy', talk about 'the pot calling the kettle black' this one' takes the cake'.
