Abstract in brief

  • The article explores wisdom based on the Berlin wisdom paradigm, viewing it as expert knowledge about life's fundamental aspects, including personal and collective well-being, with a focus on guiding human development toward excellence.
  • Wisdom is measured through think-aloud protocols addressing life problems like planning, management, and review, evaluated based on criteria such as factual knowledge, lifespan context, value relativism, and managing uncertainty.
  • The authors propose a new theoretical view, describing wisdom as a cognitive and motivational metaheuristic pragmatic that harmonizes knowledge and virtue to promote human excellence both individually and collectively.]
