Originally posted by @fmfIt's an odd question. Since the converse is true: "One would be unwise to deny his or her imminent death." Then I guess on the matter of imminent death, wisdom is contingent upon acknowledging it. For whatever that's worth. Kind of obvious it seems.
To what degree is wisdom contingent upon the knowledge that death is coming?
Originally posted by @fmfThe implied answer is that all knowledge and wisdom begins with knowledge of God, and so it would not actually be so vital to that.
To what degree is the wisdom ~ that some people believe comes from knowledge of a god or gods ~ contingent upon the knowledge that death is coming?

Some definitions are in order.
What is wisdom?
Knowledge?
Death?
Going to need how those terms are being used.
