Abstract
The concept of wisdom has been a term of reflection since the first philosophical definition attempts by Aristotle (384 BC – 322 BC). Different religions and sciences offered possible properties and facets of wisdom – without ever coming to an agreement on how to define the term. As especially cognitive sciences provided new insights during the last decades the time might have come for a revised, more conclusive definition or at least modelization of wisdom, using and integrating the insights of different disciplines out of humanities, cognitive and natural science to create a common base for further interdisciplinary research. Furthermore, we discuss possible measures that are able to cover a least fundamental properties of wisdom including its vague aspects.
