From Knowledge to Wisdom: Essays on the Crisis in Contemporary Learning

Einstein said, "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” Julio Olalla’s “From Knowledge to Wisdom” presents a compelling case that what Einstein foresaw, and what humanity is seeing more clearly each passing day, is that a “new way” of thinking is essential to face the breakdowns we have created in the world. “From Knowledge to Wisdom” illuminates areas of human concern that are often left in the dark. What is our unseen relationship with the world around us? What do we believe about learning and knowing? How has that served us and how has it kept us ignorant? What do we believe it means to be human? What new possibilities are emerging? Reflecting on these questions and exploring the possibilities the reflection brings has everything to do with how we understand the world we live in, our place in it and how we navigate life on a daily basis.
