Answer 12

My opinion couldn't possibly assert that any work or set of works is "more wise" than any other. I could say that I find the works of Georg Hegel to be both wise and highly influential to my personal attitude to the world (probably more so than any other written text or spoken word I've yet encountered), but I couldn't comparatively quantify the wisdom to be found in his or any other work, and even were that possible, I would not have complete knowledge of all other possible contenders. I'd certainly nominate him in a contest, though.
