What is it to be wise?

To be wise is to understand everything that can be understood by a purely reflective method" (C. L Lewis), and to understand everything else one understands in relation thereto, i.e., in relation to one's purely reflective understanding.

But what, exactly, is "a purely 'reflective method'''? A purely reflective method is a method that presupposes as the datum for its analysis any human experience whatever, and thus requires no particular (or special) human experience(s).
