Wisdom is what philosophy gives us. Wisdom is the product of philosophy. Wisdom makes human a better person. Wisdom molds as to understand things and enjoy its knowledge. Wisdom is the intention of philosophy. Wisdom makes a wise man.
Thanks for asking. Have a great day!

Prudence based on a mixture of judgement and knowledge. Socrates questioned wisdom, he also lived in a society of merritocracy which is how the moddern day society should be. He didn't write anything but his ideas had a lot of influency on people like Plato. As the film Road Trip says he is the father of philosopy, but in actual fact a guy called Anaxeander of Meltos was but that is not what you asked.

Now how can one Identify as in wisdom
we learn from our inner scenes first into life as an Infant
and can anyone you know or i know what was it to be as innocent ? SO OUR FIRST BOOKS ARE NURSERY
BOOKS and how MANY CAN WE REMEMBER
so I GUESS wisdom is what we had LIVED IN LIFE,,
no one is ignorant nor are they intelligent
it would be a boring world if we all thought alike
as is some fear life and some give up on it
and some just LOVE IT..
SO HOW CAN YOU SAY WISDOM IS NOT
ALL WITHIN US IN MANY FORMS
so i believe its a lesson and we are the student and
has nothing to do but as if you tripped and give me the wisdom to get up CAUSE if YOU WAIT TO be picked
up then why do you think you now use the excuse that you did
YOU DID NOT bare yourself nor did you bare life,!!
now thats WISDOM

The ability to make right choices when the answers are not easy to perceive. Those choices are often moral, having to do with the quality of life, or the philosophical.
I've heard it defined as properly applied knowledge.
The fact that we tend to associate wisdom with old age suggests that there is a correlation there; perhaps wisdom is most often gained through experience.
Evidence of wisdom may be self-awareness. For example, I realize about myself, that your physical beauty made me want to respond to your question. You could have asked for the sum of 2+2.
See? Wisdom.

Wisdom is knowing where you are, why you are, where you came from and where you are going. Once that is known then the wise pursue the path that is illuminated by that wisdom.

Wisdom is what you know; intelligence is your ability to reason things out.
