Aristotle, the student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great, viewed wisdom (Sophia) as the highest of all virtues. He famously stated, 'Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom. ' Unlike Plato's abstract ideals, Aristotle's wisdom was grounded in the observation of the natural world. He believed that wisdom is the result of experience and reflection, leading to 'Phronesis' or practical wisdom—the ability to make the right choice in the right situation.
