Philosophical Fireside Chats 🔥 🪵: Confucius in The Analects—Relative Wisdom - Ep. 13
Season 6
Episode 13
Published 1Â year, 5Â months ago
Description
In this short parable from the Analects we see the idea that wisdom is relative both to situations and individuals. This approach to wisdom is markedly different from the notion of universal laws and absolute ontology that informs much of the Western philosophical tradition.
