商品簡介
Of interest to students of informatics and management sciences as well as general readers and philosophers, this interesting study attempts to logically map a modern definition of the concept of wisdom as a universal learning and planning tool. Topics discussed include overviews of role-oriented and philosophical approaches to wisdom, cognitive informatics and wisdom, wisdom as a mental tool of a symbolic species, human wisdom in the twenty-first century, can wisdom be taught, and elements of a wise civilization. The work is technical in nature and applies cognitive informatics structures to a broad base of philosophical data and analysis and numerous flow charts are included to demonstrate processes. Targowski is a professor of business information systems at Western Michigan University. Annotation c2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
