Everything about Sapience totally explained
Sapience, usually defined as
wisdom since it's the ability of an organism or entity to act with
judgment. Judgment is a mental facility that's a particular form of
intelligence or
may be considered an additional facility, above intelligence, with its own properties.
Robert Sternberg has segregated the capacity for judgment from ordinary meanings of intelligence, which is closer to the sense of clever than to wisdom. Good judgment in making decisions about complex life or social decisions is a hallmark of being wise.
The word
sapience is derived from the
Latin word for
wisdom,
sapientia. Both are related to the Latin
verb sapere, which means "to taste, to be wise, to know ;" the present participle of
sapere forms part of
Homo sapiens
, the
Latin binomial nomenclature created by
Carolus Linnaeus to describe the
human species. Linnaeus had originally given humans the species name of
diurnus, meaning man of the day. But he later decided that the dominating feature of humans was wisdom, hence application of the name
sapiens. His chosen biological name was intended to emphasize man's uniqueness and separation from the rest of the animal kingdom.
