No one is born with Wisdom the ability to think and act with understanding and insight.

This volume enables us to stand on the shoulders of some of these giants and thereby grow our own wisdom farther and faster!Growing Wisdom: An Invitation to Western Philosophy comprises an exceptionally affordable, readable, high-quality, scholarly rigorous collection of canonical philosophical texts.
