Abstract
Nicholas of Cusa wrote about philosophy with reserve, even some dislike, and defi ned it as idle chatter and earthly knowledge that leads to excessive pride. On the other hand, he associated philosophy with the most important human task, i.e. the pursuit of truth. The objective of this paper is to explain this disparity in the understanding of philosophy by means of a distinction between knowledge and wisdom. Analyzing passages from selected works by Nicholas of Cusa, the paper presents Cusanus’ concept of wisdom and emphasizes its Christocentric character and the close relationship between wisdom and immortality.
库萨的尼古拉斯(Nicholas of Cusa)写哲学时很含蓄，甚至有些人不喜欢，他把哲学定义为闲扯和尘世的知识，会导致过度的骄傲。另一方面，他把哲学与人类最重要的任务，即对真理的追求联系起来。本文的目的是通过对知识和智慧的区分来解释这种对哲学理解的差异。本文通过对库萨尼古拉斯选集的分析，阐述了库萨努斯的智慧观，强调了其基督中心主义的特点以及智慧与不朽的密切关系。
