wisdom involves a healthy dose of perspective and the ability to make sound judgments about a subject while knowledge is simply knowing.

Prof Md. Abul Kalam Azad

What a thought provoking question.

I like the explanation from this link:

https://philoscifi.com/2010/09/26/knowledge-vs-wisdom/#:~:text=Knowledge%20is%20the%20accumulation%20of,which%20the%20tool%20is%20used.

'Knowledge is the accumulation of facts and information. Wisdom is the synthesis of knowledge and experiences into insights that deepen one’s understanding of relationships and the meaning of life. In other words, knowledge is a tool, and wisdom is the craft in which the tool is used.'

I see wisdom as the ability to use the knowledge that you have, and as the above quotation indicates, it is the ability to learn through your experiences of life to use your knowledge. So, I see it as something that develops and grows as you get older. Years ago, people used the term 'gumption' more. I looked up the meaning, and it described it as 'shrewd or spirited initiative and resourcefulness', where 'shrewd' was 'powers of judgement'. People using their wisdom and 'powers of judgement'

I don't think it is the cleverest of people who are the wisest, but those who can use the knowledge that they have to make the best decisions.

This could become an interesting discussion.

Md. Abul Kalam Azad

Knowledge is a piece of truth. So anything that is true, can be treated as knowledge. For example, we can say 'fire is hot'. Now this is true. So it is a piece of knowledge. If we know this, we can be called knowledgeable about it. Now let us keep this piece of truth somewhere and then look at it from different angles. We will get different views. For example, we can say that since fire is hot, it can burn. We can also say that its spreading can be prevented by spraying water. There can be innumerable such corollaries derived from a piece of knowledge. Such corollaries are called wisdom.

Therefore, it can be concluded that knowledge is still, it is constant irrespective of time, place and the person concerned. It is independent. But wisdom varies. It is never constant. It is dependent on time, place and the person concerned.

It can also be concluded that knowledge cannot be improved, but wisdom can be.

Most of the time basic research gives us knowledge and applied research gives us wisdom. Hence, there cannot be wisdom without knowledge.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Knowledge is gathered from learning and education, while most say that wisdom is gathered from day-to-day experiences and is a state of being wise. Knowledge is merely having clarity of facts and truths, while wisdom is the practical ability to make consistently good decisions in life. https://www.diffen.com/difference/Knowledge_vs_Wisdom

Knowledge is information of which someone is aware. Knowledge is also used to mean the confident understanding of a subject, potentially with the ability to use it for a specific purpose.

Wisdom is the ability to make correct judgments and decisions. It is an intangible quality gained through our experiences in life.

Knowledge is the accumulation of facts and data that you have learned about or experienced. Wisdom is the ability to discern and judge which aspects of that knowledge are true, right, lasting, and applicable to your life. https://www.lifehack.org/articles/communication/what-are-the-differences-between-knowledge-wisdom-and-insight.html

Knowledge is the bedrock of wisdom. Knowledge is key, but wisdom is profitable to direct

Knowledge is an accumulation of efforts and wisdom is a moment of inspiration of splendid ideas on a great amount of efforts.

To me, knowledge is all you have captured from life, but wisdom is the ability to use that knowledge wisely when you need it.

Knowledge is principles the hold true within specific situational boundaries/ conditions, whereas Wisdom is the universally true principles that always hold true in all situational boundaries/ conditions.

Knowledge is driven and wisdom drives, as said by Hazrat Ali (R.A) if the knowledge is a horse then wisdom are the ruins that keeps the horse in the right path and direction. Further, without ruins the horse gets wild and a wild horse is more destructive than constructive.

Knowledge comes from learning and wisdom helps to identity good or bad from acquired learning or exp.

The primary difference between the two words is that wisdom involves a healthy dose of perspective and the ability to make sound judgments about a subject while knowledge is simply knowing. Anyone can become knowledgeable about a subject by reading, researching, and memorizing facts. It’s wisdom, however, that requires more understanding and the ability to determine which facts are relevant in certain situations. Wisdom takes knowledge and applies it with discernment based on experience, evaluation, and lessons learned. https://www.dictionary.com/e/wisdom-vs-knowledge/

Wisdom is also about knowing when and how to use your knowledge, being able to put situations in perspective, and how to impart it to others. For example, you may be very knowledgeable about how to raise a baby after reading countless books, attending classes, and talking to wise friends and family members. When that precious little person comes home, however, most new parents would kill for an ounce of wisdom to help soothe their screaming baby … and their fears. https://www.dictionary.com/e/wisdom-vs-knowledge/

Wisdom involves a healthy dose of perspective and the ability to make sound judgments about a subject.

Knowledge is simply knowing. Anyone can become knowledgeable about a subject by reading, researching, and memorizing facts.

The two words may not be used as synonyms but to understand start reading it as wise dome and u may find the answer

Knowledge is the result of knowing (yourself and the world). The depth and breadth of knowledge has a positive effect on wisdom. The basis of wisdom is conscious life experience. Wisdom is manifested in the use of knowledge in the best possible way.

Knowledge and wisdom are not synonyms but yes it is connected terms. Wisdom is having wider and wiser prospects than knowledge. Knowledge is the collection of facts, figures and experiences where as wisdom is the intellectual part of knowledge which make us make wiser and better decisions making capabilities. Wisdom makes a person a better human being to deals with the problems.

Knowledge is the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject or skills acquired through experience.

Wisdom is the ability to think and act using experience and insight. Wisdom is associated with attributes such as unbiased judgment, compassion ethics, and benevolence.

I agree to the definitions of Muhammad Yahya Qureshi

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.

Wisdom and knowledge cannot be used as synonyms .... Sometimes we find wisdom in people who have not learned science in the first place.
