The Rediscovery of Wisdom : From Here to Antiquity in Quest of Sophia PDF
by D. Conway

Description
By reconstructing it and tracing its vicissitudes, David Conway rehabilitates a time-honoured conception of philosophy, originating in Plato and Aristotle, which makes theoretical wisdom its aim.
Wisdom is equated with possessing a demonstrably correct understanding of why the world exists and has the broad character it does.
Adherents of this conception maintained the world to be the demonstrable creation of a divine intelligence in whose contemplation supreme human happiness resides.
Their claims are defended against various latter-day scepticisms.
