Features: This book is a collection of papers, speeches, and prefaces published by the author after the Cultural Revolution. It centers on the study of wisdom, with each chapter exploring the relationship between knowledge and wisdom. From the content, the included articles can be roughly categorized into the following aspects: (1) Theoretical discussions on the relationship between knowledge and wisdom; (2) Issues concerning logic and methodology; (3) Value theory, free will theory, as well as ethical and aesthetic issues; (4) Bridging the past and present and comparing Eastern and Western thought. The logical structure of the book is as follows: wisdom exploration serves as the main axis, while "translating theory into methods" (methodology) and "translating theory into virtue" (value theory) form its two wings. By integrating the past and present and comparing Eastern and Western thought, it achieves a new philosophical realm. Although the chapters differ in focus (some emphasize theoretical discussions at a general level, while others primarily explore wisdom through the summary of the history of philosophy), they are interconnected through an underlying theoretical framework. This book can be considered an appendix to The Theory of Wisdom.
