Beschreibung
This is a lively, often funny, intellectual Odyssey trying to answer questions about human wisdom: What characterizes the wise? Which traditional wisdoms have become doubtful? What modern wisdoms have superseded those of our ancestors? Is the same wisdom unconditionally valid in all situations? The answers are sought and found in the context of a fictitious seminar, peopled with participants both living and historical, real and imaginary. It is all done in clear, simple language.
Wisdom, the seminar shows, is not something a few old men possess or a select few are born with. It can be communicated, learned and practiced by anyone, at any age.
