RHACS: UK Support for the International Wisdom Society
The International Wisdom Society (IWS) is an academic organisation founded in mainland China, which has been established to develop and coordinate the project of Wisdom Studies around the world. The concept of ‘wisdom’ as used by the IWS emphasises the use of the facilities and capabilities of the human mind to its highest possible degree of cognitive development. Although Wisdom Studies is an academic concept emerging from China, it is the determination of the IWS that this project be developed worldwide, and that in every country and region, the study of wisdom be encouraged as a distinct subject. To this end, the IWS has founded an International Committee to recruit and organise suitable Regional Branches to represent geographical areas outside of China, whose task is to initiate local Wisdom Studies programmes following a theme or subject decided yearly by the IWS. This cooperation is set to evolve around the establishment of an International Wisdom Day – which will eventually have United Nations recognition. RHACS supports the development of the Wisdom Studies Project in the United Kingdom. The following documents have been translated from the original Chinese language into English, and serve to explain, define, and regulate the International Wisdom Society and its activities from with and outside of
