Summary:

"This book presents the findings of a research project conducted through the auspices of the Wisdom in Practice (WiP) programme funded by the Research Council of Finland. The WiP programme involved researchers from a range of academic fields, including education, philosophy, and psychology, internationally, and comprises a multi-year project with three distinct but interrelated programmes of inquiry. The first is a theoretical review of what constitutes wisdom in practice, the second is an empirically driven investigation into what constitutes wisdom in practice in the contemporary era, and the third concerns educational perspectives into wisdom development, informed by previous and current empirical research and aimed at rethinking the purposes and processes of educational practice. This book comprises four sections structured after the elements of the research programme: i) Wisdom in practice: the contemporary imperative, current conceptions and suggestions for its development; ii) Wisdom in practice: historical perspectives and contemporary conceptions; iii) Empirically driven perspectives of wisdom in practice; and iv) Developing wise practice through tertiary education"-- Springer Nature Link
