16010 | While faith is a passion (as Kierkegaard says), wisdom is passionless |
Full Idea: Wisdom is passionless. But faith by contrast is what Kierkegaard calls a passion. | |||
From: Ludwig Wittgenstein (Culture and Value [1945], 53e) | |||
A reaction: [Idea from SY] Personally I don't agree that wisdom is passionless. At the very least, Aristotle allows the wise person to be appropriately angry. [PG] |
