Wisdom

Wisdom is seeing through the obvious text, or moment it time, in order to identify deeper meaning. Birkert's definition of wisdom is: seeing through the facts a penetration of underlying lays and patterns. Understanding life as a whole n relation to the parts that make it up.

We found the purpose of Birkert's project to be exploring the shift in how text had been processed in the past and ways in which we view text in the modern day; "how do people experience the written word, and how have those experiences, each necessarily unique, changed an larger collective ways down the centuries?"
