Philosophy: the scientific pursuit of a unifying principle of knowledge about the nature of reality.
Gnomish Wisdom: everyman's wisdom, often received, that requires no specialized knowledge or insight.
Zeitgeist: a type of wisdom that passes away with time. Those who love the spirit of the age specialize in pursuing a life that is patterned on transitory things; their outlook is characterized by shallowness and a vanity of mind. Being essentially emotional, intellectual energy is routinley supplanted by animal passion.
Maps, Keys, and Clocks: shorthand for penetrating what is presented to the senses to enter the realm of the eternal.
