Abstract
Human ageing is associated with the development of wisdom - a building-up of knowledge about how to respond to other people, to oneself, and to profound problems of human existence that lack predetermined answers. Achieving it can offer consolation for the ‘pains of ageing’. Wise old people can understand that situations are complex and that many factors have to be weighed and distinguished; the learning involved requires effort by the entire personality. Wise knowledge contrasts sharply with swiftly applicable technical knowledge. Wisdom is often claimed to increase with age simply because experiences take a long time to be collected and assimilated.
