Kant's philosophy - What is wisdom?

Philosophy is not fully characterised by its school concept according to Kant, it is more than just a science, more than mere metaphysics. The true philosopher must be wise. But wisdom is foremost practical, it is the idea of the necessary unity of all purposes. Through this the role of the philosopher is determined: He shall not just use reason as a technician of reason to reach various arbitrary purposes like the regular scientists, but he shall be a lawgiver of reason who sets his eyes on the purpose and vocation of humanity. Quote: 0:08 Repition: 2:02 The philosopher according to the world concept is the sage: 5:16 Wisdom and foolishness: 12:12 Unity of all purposes can only be achived through orientation on the highest good, that is through morality: 30:01 Out of arationalism people today believe in neither wisdom nor morality: 41:22 By lawgiver Kant doesn't mean the author of the laws but the author of the compulsion to follow the law: 49:48 The technician of reason and the lawgiver of reason: 59:45 Through the world concept of philosophy the central role of metaphysics in philosophy according to the school concept is explained: 1:09:15 The horizon of our cognition and action must be set dynamically according to our abilities or teleologically according to our purposes: 1:14:43 Every human ought to be a philosopher in the world sense: 1:34:42 The three or four Kantian questions: 1:57:28 Thanks: 2:10:04 A complete overview of Kant's understanding of philosophy according to its school concept as well as its world concept can best be found in his lecture on philosophical encylopedia (Philosophische Enzyklopädie), which on top of that also outlines the basis of his critical philosophy and can be recommanded as a starting point, because it is both short and easy: https://archive.org/details/kantsgesammeltes0000kant/page/n9/mode/2up (I don't know of an English translation.) The third chapter of the transcendental doctrine of method in the Critique of pure Reason also speaks about the world concept of philosophy: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/4280/4280-h/4280-h.htm#chap106 Finally Kant contrasts the world concept and the school concept in his lectures on logic, meant as an introduction to philosophy and scholarship: On logic you may read Kant's Logic: http://kant.korpora.org/Band9/001.html Since this was only published by his student Jäsche and is deficient, I rather recommend Kant's lextures on logic: https://archive.org/details/kantsgesammeltes241imma/page/n5/mode/2up | https://archive.org/details/kantsgesammeltes242imma/page/n7/mode/2up (English translations exist, but unfortunately I couldn't find them for free on the internet.)
