    Though knowledge and wisdom may seem alike‚ they are really very different. They actually only have two things in common - they both involve the mind and both are hard to acquire. Someone who has knowledge would know that a tomato is a fruit‚ but someone who had wisdom would know not to put them in a fruit salad. Anyone can obtain knowledge about anything‚ but only some can use that knowledge and apply it in the best way.Knowledge’ is information of which someone is aware. Knowledge is also used

    Socratic Wisdom In the Apology‚ the oracle at Delphi stated that Socrates was the wisest man of his time (Plato 21a).

Certainly‚ not both the oracle and Socrates could be simultaneously correct in their individual beliefs; thus‚ the oracle and Socrates must have had differing definitions of wisdom. What‚ then‚ is wisdom? Many people believe wisdom denotes having
