in this article, the concepts of wisdom and foolishness are
analyzed linguistically, psychologically and philosophically, and the results of the
analysis will help to understand these concepts more closely.
The concept of wisdom expresses certain skills, abilities and characteristics of
an individual associated with mental activity, and thus is distinguished from other
concepts about the inner world of a person by his cherished position (status). The
mind that defines man is also a feature that distinguishes him from animals, while at
the same time differentiating people from each other, serving as the main term in
this research work. When conducting Cognitive Research, the concept of wisdom in
Uzbek and English and its concept of antinomy were chosen by foolishness.
From the point of view of methodology, it is advisable to start the study of
concepts from the areas of their existence, where these concepts demonstrate
objectified types of consciousness. For the mind, these are the spheres of existence
of ordinary/linguistic consciousness and special-scientific and religious
consciousness. [1, 287] The last two areas of concept existence are reflected in
certain types of discourse(discourse), which in turn are types of complex
communicative phenomenon, which, in addition to the text necessary for
understanding speech, include extralinguistic factors (knowledge of the universe,
views, attitudes and goals of the applicant). The discourse obtained in the sum of
pragmatic, socio-cultural and psychological factors is involved in the interaction of
humans with each other and their mechanisms of consciousness as “buried in life”
speech, and at the same time allows us to identify the most important aspects of the
structural concepts that make it up.
Unlike linguistics, the philosophical and scientific imagination systematized
within the framework of various concepts is universal, relatively clear and detailed,

and in order to reach its nature and essence, it assumes their
explanation(exploration).
In particular, the concept of consciousness can be understood differently from
different points of view. From the point of view of psychology, wisdom is a
generalized characteristic of a person's cognitive capabilities (in contrast to emotion
and will). In a narrow sense, it is an individual-psychological description of the
mental abilities of an individual. In Applied Psychology, it is considered as a means
of influencing the mind. [5, 165]
Wisdom (or intellect) in philosophy (Latin, intellectus-perception, perception,
understanding, knowledge) - the brain with the ability to receive, store, modify and
release information, develop new knowledge, make rational based decisions, control
activities for the formation and achievement of goals, assess situations that occur in
the outside world is a special function of the psychic activity of highly developed,
complex differentiated (differentiated, differentiated) organisms. An important
source of information that is processed and modified by wisdom and the knowledge
developed for them, the object of the application of decisions and goals is the
objective universe. In this sense, the mental or intellectual activity of a person is a
perception of objective reality based on the transformation of the two.
In European philosophy, it is traditionally customary to distinguish
intelligence and cognition as the main levels of intellectual activity. Wisdom is seen
as an intellectual activity that does not go beyond the norms and standards developed
in the socio-historical and cultural process and during individual activities, and
consciousness is seen as the Supreme creative ability of the mind to create
fundamentally new knowledge and realize the deep essence of reality. [3,341]
Metaphysical and Natural Scientific Materialism traces wisdom to the
neurophysiological activity of the brain. Dialectical materialism recognizes
intelligence and psychic activity as a function of the brain as a whole, but it cannot
be fully integrated into neurophysiological processes, since in the process of social
and cultural development of mankind it works with information-carrying symbols,
is formed and developed on the basis of changing socio-historical practice.
Logical dictionaries interpret wisdom as rational thinking. Wisdom should not
be compared, on the one hand, with intuition (intuition), and on the other, with
consciousness and rational thinking at all. Intuition (intuition), the connection and

difference between mind and mind do not correspond to a clear logical definition
due to the priority of the concepts of intuition and thinking. [4,579]
Foolishness is the complete or partial absence of reason, rational thinking. The
simplest manifestation of stupidity, the complete lack of intelligence, is called
madness. Another form of stupidity, the partial lack of intelligence, is called
ignorance (actually stupidity). Such stupidity is a characteristic sign of many
absolutely healthy people. [2, 402]Foolishness is evidenced by the limitations of
intuition (intuition) and thinking, two main aspects of rational(rational) thinking. In
cases where intuition is limited, they say that a person "does not feel subtle aspects",
"does not understand the deep (original) meaning of the subject", is stupid in
meanings such as “think foolishly”.
In conclusion, our being is antinomic, so wisdom in the language is contrasted
with foolishness, it is this fact that was the impetus for the choice of the concept of
stupidity in the world of Uzbek and English for research.
