Wisdom of the Idiots

Wisdom of the Idiots

In Idries Shahâ€™s Wisdom of the Idiots, the â€˜idiotsâ€™ are Sufis, called this because their wisdom penetrates to a depth which renders it inaccessible to the merely intelligent or academically-knowledgeable. The exercise-stories of the Sufis are tools prepared for a specific purpose.
On this level the movements of the characters in a story portray psychological processes, and the story becomes a working blueprint of those processes.
Wisdom of the Idiots has been awarded many prizes, including two gold medals, one for being â€˜Best Bookâ€™, in conjunction with UNESCOâ€™s World Book Year.
