Wisdom is more than just what we know in our heads; it also involves our bodies, senses, emotions. Beauty works on these levels. It engages and stirs our hearts. It reveals truth on the affective, often subconscious level. It forms our loves. That’s why movies, TV, and other narrative arts are so powerful in shaping popular opinions. They grab our hearts and move us viscerally, sometimes more powerfully than logic or reason.
