Towards a modelization of the elusive concept of wisdom using fuzzy techniques

After having been a term of reflection in philosophy as well as psychology for ages, the fascination with human wisdom finally reaches the realms of computer science. In comparison to the first philosophical definition attempts, that date back to Aristotle (384BC-322BC), the efforts in information science during the late 1980s seem quite recent. Nevertheless have there been astonishing new insights provided by cognitive science since those first formal modelizations were designed - findings that strongly suggest a reconsideration of our current formalization of wisdom in the computer science domain. We suggest to establish a new, integrated view on the concept of wisdom, using the insights of cognitive sciences. Furthermore, we discuss possible measures that are able to cover at least fundamental properties of wisdom including its vague aspects.
