Discusses philosophers' ways of loving wisdom. Distinction between theoretical knowledge as justified belief in propositions of a certain high order of abstraction and wisdom as a mature and intuitive nonpropositional grasp of practical truths; Understanding of wisdom as insight into the extra-empirical nature of reality and the human condition, the unwritten rules of effective interaction with other persons or reasonable expectations about the prospects of life and death; Limit of philosophy's romance.
