Question:

This chapter described at least two reasons why wisdom is necessary for virtue. First, wisdom helps a person to grasp what a particular virtue (such as compassion) requires in situations where a person with less wisdom would be befuddled (for example, the case of Gloria in Section ..). Second, wisdom helps a person to grasp what to do when virtues appear to be in conflict (for example, when honesty seems to require telling your dad that you think his haircut is ugly, but compassion seems to require a white lie). Pick a few virtues other than compassion, and give your own examples to illustrate each of these two types of cases. How do they illustrate why having wisdom is necessary for being a virtuous person?
