DEFINING WISDOM. The Arete Initiative at The University of Chicago is pleased to announce a $2 million research program on the nature and benefits of Wisdom. Once regarded as a subject worthy of the most rigorous inquiries in order to discern its nature and benefits, wisdom is currently overlooked as a topic for serious scholarly and scientific investigation in many fields.Yet it is difficult to imagine a subject more central to the human enterprise and whose exploration holds greater promise in shedding lightand opening up creative possibilities for human flourishing. In 2008, up to twenty (20), two-year research grants will be awarded to scholars from institutions around the world who have received their Ph.D. within the past ten years.
