Bilgelik Psikolojisi 1 (İngilizce)

Starting out with the idea that wisdom should not remain unfulfilled and as an abstract attitude, on the contrary, it should be a part of our everyday life and a value of our life practice, Prof. Nevzat Tarhan discusses wisdom, which he sees as the most fundamental value of the 21st century, with his work titled The Neuropsychology of Wisdom.

The Neuropsychology of Wisdom, which is subtitled “From Spinoza’s Fallacy to the Evolution of Evolution”, conveys that it has become a necessity for science to take creation into account in terms of scientific ethics at this point today in the first chapter with evidence-based data together with the topics such as how belief is based on common foundations with rational intelligence in the light of the data obtained by science in the post-quantum period, the scientific basis of the Higgs Boson- The God Particle thesis, and the dilemma of Creation and Evolution.

In the second chapter, the book brings a wisdom-based perspective into the concepts of ego and self by referring to the original roots of the wisdom doctrine defined as Positive Psychology. The book offers comprehensive information about the dynamics of wisdom, the transfer of wisdom into practical life, specifically on family, society and leadership topics, and its connection with Sufism.

Emphasizing that a paradigm of wisdom, which is guided by reason and accompanied by the concepts of conscience and accountability, is needed for justice and peace to prevail on our planet, where a global pandemic overtakes, Prof. Nevzat Tarhan offers a proposal that can be a cure for our century by bringing theory and practice together in his work titled The Neuropsychology of Wisdom.
