Does Wisdom Exist?

from Philosophy Club!

Logan tells Aaqib and Ben that he has doubts that Wisdom exists at all. Might Wisdom not be an empty term? For who can be wise if it takes a single foolish act to make you foolish? What is there for wisdom to do when we already have words for intelligence and virtue? And how can wisdom mean anything when it seems to apply so broadly to so many disciplines; that is, how can subjects which have nothing in common, all be affected by Wisdom? Ben and Aaqib generally charm his doubts away, but in the last moments you might notice we contradict ourselves. While Wisdom might yet exist, it was an excellent conversation that touches on the virtues of Plato, Bertrand Russell's opinion of Marcus Aurelius, Oedipus, Solon of Athens, and best of all, Wittgenstein's beetle in a box! Buckle up!
