Sophia (Greek meaning "wisdom") is a central ideological pillar of Hellenistic philosophy and religion, Platonism, Gnosticism, and Christian theology. While originally the interpretive meaning was a mix of "cleverness, skill sometimes with dextrous overtones", the later interpretation of the term evolved to become closer to the meaning of Phronesis ("wisdom, intelligence"), a shift which in itself was significantly shaped by the term philosophy ("love of wisdom") employed by Plato.
