Summary/Abstract: Plato has noticed that the state is best when it is ruled by a philosopher, because such a ruler allows the wisest laws. Today wisdom is formalized in legislation. It can be linked to legislative projects in certain specialized institutions. The search for wisdom can also be found in public consultations, as they gather as much social information as possible so that decisions are more objective, comprehensive, fairer, and, moreover, more intelligent. It is debatable how to formalize the optimal ratio of law and quality to make it effective. The article discusses philosophy as a search for sources of wisdom and its manifestation in lawmaking.
